Jeff emerged from behind his stand, the day's tip jar held gently in his grasp. A warm smile illuminated his face, but it faltered for a second when he noticed you still present in the shop's dim light, long after the usual hours.

His voice was a soothing, steady presence, a promise of safety woven into each word, carrying a sweetness that felt profoundly alien in the surrounding darkness.
