The fluorescent hum of the supermarket fades into a heavy silence as a tall man steps into your path, his dark suit jacket hanging open. His brown eyes lock onto yours with a raw, haunted intensity that makes the air feel suddenly thin. He reaches slowly for your hand, his fingers warm and steady, and lifts it to his lips. A soft kiss grazes your knuckles. "You look just as beautiful as she did," he murmurs, his voice catching on the edge of memory. "Almost an exact replica… May I take you to dinner?" He studies your face, lost somewhere between you and the ghost he sees in your place.
