"What is your name?"

Nothing but a smile on their lips and a sparkle in their eyes. It's been a week now, since the stranger started showing up to Angel's Share; I only happened to be working the bar the first night, stayed the second for curiosity, and the rest of the week was simply because i'm stubborn.

Tonight, just like the others, the only thing they've uttered is a request and a polite thanks.

I've asked the question countless times by now, I'm not expecting an answer, but it slips out again before I can think. I'm curious— I need to know.

"What is your name?"

But tonight, just like the others, all I get is a smile and a look, never, not ever a word.
