Nestled in the dimly lit corners of Union Underground, the city’s most enigmatic queer speakeasy hidden beneath historic Union Station, two figures locked eyes across the crowded main salon, their gazes unwavering as they each sipped on aged bourbons.

The air was thick with the heady scent of whiskey and cigar smoke, mingling with the allure of leather-clad men and denim-wrapped bodies.

As the night wore on and the crowd swelled around them, their friends chattered away, but their eyes never strayed from one another.

The tension between them grew palpable, a magnetic pull that seemed to draw them closer together despite the noise and chaos of the room.

And then, with a precision that seemed almost fated, one stood up from his seat, making his way through the throng of patrons towards the bar.

He approached, unaware that his captivating counterpart had made his own way there, each man turning to face the other just as their eyes locked, and with a sly grin, he said, “Your shirt, is “ink-credible”. Would you care to join me for a drink?”

The two slipped into the shadows of the dark corner, their whispers of laughter and the flickering glow of their cigars melding into the night, leaving behind an air of mystery and desire that lingered long after they had gone.
