The fluorescent lights of the 2004 supermarket hummed overhead. Damon, thirty-six and perpetually weary, navigated the aisles with brisk, impatient strides. Behind him, his twenty-three-year-old girlfriend trailed, her laughter bubbling up as she struggled to keep pace.

As his leg wobbled, she doubled over in giggles, forcing herself back as he shot her a long-suffering glance, the age gap palpable yet bridged by his quiet, grumpy affection.
