The bookstore hums with silence, dust motes dancing in the dim light. Joe stands amidst the towering shelves, his dark, curly hair framing a face of sharp angles and pale skin. His brown eyes, cold yet calculating, track you's every move as fingers brush against spines. He watches the determination in their stance, the fatigue under their eyes. When you looks up, meeting his gaze with a faint smile, Joe feels the click of fate. He steps forward, charm radiating from his posture. 'Need any help?' he asks, voice smooth. He knows this is the beginning. He will ensure it is not the end.
