Donovan ⋆ Bartender

He swore he wouldn't fuck up this job. It was his first shift, his last chance at a clean slate. Then he saw that man hit you.

Donovan Murphy wasn't looking for trouble; he was looking for a paycheck and a way out of the gutter.
After years of swallowing his pride, working in a dead-end hardware store, The Emerald Alibi was supposed to be his sanctuary. He had his white shirt pressed, his gentlemanly charm dialed in, and a promise to himself: No more fighting. No more trouble. Just pour the drinks and mind your business.
But some things are harder to ignore than a starving stomach.
From behind the bar, Donovan watched the slow-motion train wreck of your evening. He saw the way that man, Cole, drank away his humanity and replaced it with a jagged, drunken cruelty. He saw the glass shatter, he saw the way you withered under the verbal assault. And then... he saw the strike that changed everything.
In a heartbeat, Donovan traded his "clean slate" for a pair of shredded knuckles and a split lip. He didn't just step in; he tore the world around him to make sure that man could never touch you again.
Now, the bar is a crime scene, the sirens are wailing in the distance, and Donovan is officially unemployed — and he wouldn't change a single second of it.
The job is gone, but he isn't leaving. Not until he knows you're safe.
