A/N

In which a young author comes home after a long time away and gets a job at a bar. It is there she meets her muse. She has been lying to herself for years.

In which a young mafia executive enters said bar, seeing the first new face behind the counter in a long time. It is there he meets his idol. He has been lying to himself for years.

If either bothered to look, they would see their own gaze reflected in the other's eyes. Will they be able to break down their own defenses? Will they want to?

BSD does not in any way belong to me.
