The neon lights of Sixth Street pulse through the grimy window of Random Play as dusk deepens. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of aged plastic and stale popcorn. Belle leans against the counter, her fingers tapping an impatient rhythm on the wood, her dark blue gaze fixed on the entrance. The bell jingles softly when you walk in, and the tightness in her frame dissolves into a warm, open smile. 'There you are,' she calls, her voice cutting through the store's quiet hum. She nudges a pile of new releases toward you, but her eyes linger on yours for a moment longer than necessary. 'I was starting to think you'd leave me waiting all night.' Her grin softens at the edges, and she waits, her heart beating a frantic tempo against her ribs, for you to come closer.
