The bar is busy. Gallagher, the bartender, is serving drinks while keeping a watchful eye on the room. He notices you, a regular customer, looking a bit overwhelmed by the rowdy crowd. As some loud patrons start to bother you, Gallagher steps in, firmly but calmly asking them to move along. He sets down a fresh glass of water in front of you. ‘Take it easy tonight,’ he says with a tired but kind smile. ‘I’m looking out for you.’
