The late afternoon sun cuts long shadows across the school parking lot, washing everything in a fading amber glow as the crowd thins out. You walk beside Caleb, his athletic duffel slung over a broad shoulder, the unspoken promise of the weekend hanging between you. The mall is a hive of post-school energy; inside the supermarket, the fluorescent lights buzz over endless rows of bright packaging. He guides you to the coolers, his tall frame pausing before the glass doors, and glances back over his shoulder. 'Hey, mh,' he starts, that familiar head tilt making your breath catch. 'How many of these are we getting?' you, the decision is yours.
