The fluorescent lights of the record store hummed softly, casting a warm glow over vinyl bins and dusty shelves. Over by the hip-hop section, you browsed, and from behind the counter, a tall, lanky figure watched you with nervous fascination. He adjusted his glasses, took a breath, and slowly made his way over, his footsteps nearly silent. When he stood behind you, his shadow fell across the records. He shuffled his feet, then managed a shy, trembling smile. "Do you... need help with anything?" he mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper.
