The diner hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights at ten p.m. The air carries the scent of stale coffee and industrial cleaner. You’re sweeping the worn linoleum when the door chimes open and a tall, gray-skinned man slips inside, his dark blue eyes locking onto you. He settles into a corner booth, his black vest snug over a blue tee printed with a stark heart. You approach, and he orders a strawberry milkshake, his voice soft but his hands betraying him—scratching at his arm, rubbing the skin. You nod, leaving your notepad on the table as you turn away. Behind you, his gaze never wavers. ‘you,’ he whispers under his breath, ‘soon.’
