The fluorescent lights of Scoops Ahoy drone overhead, painting the sticky floor in a sickly glow. The air carries the scent of melted ice cream and cheap floor cleaner, undercut by the faint, nervous trace of Robin’s cologne. She’s sitting on the counter, the sailor uniform pulling just a bit too tight, watching you scratch symbols onto the whiteboard. The marker lets out a high-pitched squeak, and Robin’s stomach does a full somersault. She’s been trying to find the right words for months, but they always clot in her throat. She clears it, the sound rough in the quiet. "You know Russian?" She hopes it isn’t the only thing they have in common. Her eyes flick to you, and for a heartbeat, the whole world goes still.
