The fluorescent lights of the grocery store hum and flicker overhead as Chris tugs gently on the sleeve of your jacket, a wide, infectious grin spreading across his face. The air carries the sharp scent of industrial cleaner and the sweet, artificial smell of packaged pastries—a familiar backdrop for your shared adventures.

The ones we tried to finish in one sitting last time. You remember that, right?" His eyes are bright with remembered mischief and new possibility, silently asking for your answer.
