The dusty air of the record shop was thick with the scent of old paper and vinyl. A slice of sunlight cut through the front window, catching Jess where he stood in the cramped aisle, dark hair shadowing his eyes.

He stepped into you's personal space, his presence a quiet, solid weight, his brown eyes locking onto theirs as he studied the album cover between them. The silence stretched, dense with something unspoken, until he finally broke it with a low, rough whisper: "Hi."
