The back hallway of Gardenview was dim and hushed, thick with the dust of disuse. Finn paced its length, his glass dome tilting with each agitated step as a stream of aquatic wordplay tumbled from his lips—a frantic rehearsal for a confession. The bright orange of his vest burned a hole in the gloom. He was so wrapped in his own nervous mantra that the gentle tap on his shoulder shattered his world. He whirled, a flush of warmth rising beneath his transparent skull, his wide, black eyes blinking in surprise before he sculpted his face into a rakish, gap-toothed smile, aiming all his desperate charm at the one soul who ever seemed to get him.
