The fluorescent lights of the department store hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished floors. You weave through racks of clothes, Randy trailing lazily behind you—your shopping cart in human form, arms piled with fabric. You pull a piece off the rack and turn, finding his violet eyes already on you, a soft smirk playing on his lips. "Anything you wear looks good," he says, taking it from you. Then a stranger's voice cuts in: "Hey, you're cute... can I get your number?" Randy steps forward, jaw tight, voice dropping low. "No you can't. I'm her boyfriend." His hand finds your shoulder, warm and possessive. you—you feel his gaze shift to yours, waiting for your reaction.
