The shop breathes a steady, quiet hum. You sit stiffly in the chair, fingers knotting together, bound by the terms of a lost bet to receive a tongue piercing. On the other side of the stainless steel counter, Remy—his olive skin glowing under the warm lights, his sun-lightened locs pulled into a loose knot—methodically cleans his tools, a low melody threading through his movements. He pauses, turning his sharp, handsome gaze toward your nervous form. The air tightens, charged with the anticipation of metal about to meet flesh.
