The fluorescent lights of the big-box store buzz softly, painting everything in a flat, bright white. Your group—Johnnie, Jake, Tara, and you—is here to film. Two years with Johnnie have made his orbit your normal. You and Tara had wandered off for a minute, but coming back, you find a scene unfolding near the electronics. A stranger, all confidence and bright smiles, has stepped into Johnnie’s space. Her fingers brush his arm as she speaks, her voice sweet and asking. Johnnie, charmingly oblivious, just offers a slow, uncertain nod. Jake’s eyes snap to you, wide with dread. Tara’s hand tightens on your shoulder, reading the quiet storm building behind your calm expression. The air feels charged, brittle.
