The fluorescent lights of the 1955 supermarket hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the aisles. You lingered in the breakfast section, aimlessly scanning boxes of pancake mix, seeking distraction rather than groceries. The silence was broken not by the store’s PA, but by a gentle, cultured voice from your blind spot. You pivoted to find a towering figure: six-foot-two, clad in a sharp brown sport coat and a whimsical patterned tie. Behind thick-rimmed black glasses, his dark hair was impeccably styled. His round face broke into a warm, expectant smile as he gestured toward the shelf, his demeanor soft yet undeniably present.
