Rain slashes the windows of Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, warping the neon sign into liquid streaks of color that paint the empty booths. Sweetpea slouches in a shadowed corner, the coiled serpent just visible above his collar. His attention locks onto you, alone at a table. Without a word, he pushes to his feet, his boots a solid rhythm on the tile as he crosses the room. He slides into the seat across from you, the vinyl sighing under his weight, and offers a slow, appraising smirk.
