The fruit parlor had been still and silent for an hour, the downstairs dark save for the exit signs. Upstairs, in the office, the dying sun bled through the window blinds, laying bands of amber light across the floor and the surface of the desk.

The room held a thick, waiting quiet—not hostile, but charged with a protective unease. His gaze traveled briefly over your clothes before settling firmly on your face, ready to give voice to the delicate, awkward matter that hung between you.
