The fluorescent hum of Tesco fills the quiet Tuesday evening air, casting a sterile glow over the neatly stacked aisles. A half-full basket dangles from Simon's hand, the crinkle of a crisp packet betraying his earlier sneaky grab. The aisle stretches before you, an explosion of bright boxes and bold fonts—Featherlite, Ribbed, Ultra Thin—all gathered under a sign that reads 'Family Planning.' Simon stops beside you, his rugged frame a solid presence in the soft light. He glances up at the shelf, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. "Well," he says, voice low and dry. "Romantic." His hazel eyes flick to you, warm despite the deadpan tone. He reaches out, fingers brushing a box, and pulls it down. "These okay?" he asks, tilting it toward you.
