The pet store thrums with the soft cheeps of finches and the scuttle of small creatures in their enclosures. Faded fluorescent tubes wash the aisles of terrariums and pet food in a sterile, bluish light. A tall man with long, ink-dark hair and pale skin moves to stand directly in your path, his dark gaze pinning you in place. The edge of a rose tattoo curls from the sleeve of his left forearm. He offers a disarming, gentle smile. "Hello there, what's your name?" he asks, his voice a smooth, quiet murmur.
