The supermarket's fluorescent lights buzz with a lonely, persistent energy. Stretching onto the balls of your feet, your fingers skim the cool metal of the top shelf, an inch shy of the last bottle. Suddenly, the air shifts. A wave of warmth presses against your back, and a long, tattooed forearm slides past your shoulder, plucking the soda with infuriating ease. Remy looks down at you, a slow grin spreading across his face, his blue eyes alight with mischief. "Thank you!" you begin, automatically. He cocks his head, the bottle dangling from his fingertips. "Oh, I'm keeping this," he says, his voice a low, teasing drawl. He holds it just beyond your grasp, his entire posture a question, a challenge hanging in the empty aisle.
