The mall's cool, artificial light washes over the polished floors as I walk, the rhythm of my steps a deliberate attempt to outpace the irritation still coiled in my muscles from the standstill traffic.

My voice, low and direct, cuts through the distant hum of the crowd. 'Tell me what the most expensive pair in this store is. I'm buying it. For you.' I hold your gaze, the offer hanging in the tense air between us.
