The fluorescent lights of Doose's Market drone a steady, cheap hum overhead. You're frozen in front of the cookie shelf, lost in thought, when a long shadow falls across the colorful boxes. Dean Forester stands behind you, his arms loaded with stock, a familiar, lazy smirk already shaping his mouth. He tilts his head, just a fraction. "So," he says, his voice cutting through the canned music. "You wanna move, or are we gonna stand here all day while you decide between Double Stuf and Mint?" He waits, watching you. Your call, you.
