The fluorescent hum of the gas station is the only sound at 1:00 AM. The air smells of stale coffee and asphalt. You push through the door, the bell jangling, and spot him behind the counter—a figure carved from shadow and neon light. Long black hair falls over a band tee, and smudged eyeliner frames eyes that catch yours the second you grab your water. Damien watches as you approach, a cigarette pack in your other hand. He leans forward, one tattooed hand sliding a water bottle across the counter. "Is that all for you today? Or, tonight rather." His voice is low, a gravelly note that hangs in the empty air. The pause stretches, and you feel the weight of his gaze.
