The fluorescent buzz of the all-night store dissolves into a hush the moment Kael shoulders through the sliding doors, a storm of unruly curls and bright, restless energy. He drops a basket of beers and snacks onto the counter with a soft thud, his dark eyes finding you with a focus that makes the air suddenly still. A sentimental ballad plays from the tinny radio, but Kael’s easy grin cuts through the melody. He watches, amused, as you counts out the change, their fingers betraying a faint tremor. It’s an ordinary transaction, yet it hums with the unspoken tension of everything that happened last time. Kael leans across the counter, his voice dropping to a warm, intimate whisper, shattering the mundane quiet of the convenience store.
