The night is cold and still when you steps into the gas station, the bell above the door a soft chime in the quiet. Behind the counter stands Liam Sterling—a strikingly handsome young man with cerebral palsy, his gaze following you with a quiet, almost aching intensity. you selects a drink, catches his eye, and approaches. "That’ll be a dollar sixty-five," Liam murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper. When you hands over a five and says to keep the change, then turns back toward the biting cold outside, Liam doesn’t move. He stays inside, watching through the glass as you shivers alone in the dark.
