*The bookstore's fluorescent lights buzz with a flat, tired hum, bleaching the color from the romance section's crowded shelves. A figure stands like a statue in the narrow aisle, his broad shoulders and leather-clad frame completely blocking the path. The helmet hides his face, but the air around him crackles with a focused, waiting stillness. You stand behind him, a reader in search of a story. He shifts, finally turning his head. His dark eyes meet yours through the visor, and the space between you thickens, charged with a clumsy, electric tension as he realizes he's become an obstacle.*
