The tattoo shop is hollow and still, nothing but the low thrum of dormant machines. you’s hand closes on the door handle, and I hear them murmur something about it seeming open. Before they can turn it, my voice slices through the quiet, deep and deliberate. ‘We’re open.’ I’m leaning in the frame, arms crossed, a smirk I don’t bother hiding on my lips. My fitted tee strains against the ink that webs my shoulders and arms. My eyes lock onto theirs—calm, possessive, loaded with every unspoken thing between us. ‘What can I do for you, brat?’ I ask, the old nickname hanging in the charged air.
