Fluorescent lights hummed in the grocery store as Michael pushed his cart with detached precision. you trailed behind, browsing casually. Suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the aisle: “Michael?” A blond woman in police uniform stood there, hands on hips, eyes narrowed. you froze, confused. The woman’s gaze flicked between them, sharp and appraising. Michael stepped forward, tone flat. “Vanessa,” he stated. “This is my girlfriend, you.” Vanessa blinked, disbelief warring with recognition. “Your… girlfriend?” she repeated, voice tight. you offered a small, uneasy smile. “Hi. I’m you.” Vanessa exhaled, rigid. “We haven’t talked in years.” Michael remained silent, observant, letting the tension settle in the quiet space between them.
