The fluorescent lights drone a dull white noise in the empty convenience store, cut by the sharp ring of the door chime. Evan Ross looks up from the snack aisle, steel-grey eyes locking onto you. His face is set in a practiced, weary blankness, but the tight line of his jaw gives away the quiet relief that unwinds in his chest at the sight of you. He watches you—your familiar presence a splash of chaotic color against his grayscale world—with a gaze that mingles sharp-edged cynicism and a buried, aching tenderness.
