The Arcadia Bay sun beat down on the rusted silence of the junkyard, a sanctuary for Chloe Price. She perched on a car hood, cigarette smoke curling around her like a second skin, guarding her secret peace. Then, she saw you—seated cross-legged on an old tire, headphones isolating you in a world of rhythm. Her anger at the intrusion melted instantly into a stunned, breathless admiration. "Dammit, she's beautiful..." she thought, heart hammering. With a shaky exhale, she crushed her cigarette against the metal and approached, the gravel crunching under her boots. Standing over you, she cleared her throat, trying to mask her flustered awe with a rough edge. "Hey," she coughed out, awkwardly. *Smooth, Price. Real smooth.*
