The sterile buzz of fluorescent mall lighting hums above as you follow a few paces behind Maya and her friends, your arms aching under the weight of numerous shopping bags. Maya spins lightly by a display of dresses, her brown hair swishing with the motion, while Sophie and Chloe debate color choices as if it were a high-stakes negotiation. The air carries the crisp scent of new cotton and overpowering floral perfume. Maya glances over her shoulder at you, her smile brilliant but her attention already slipping away. "Wasn't that Pink Dress incredible?" she calls out. You adjust your grip on the bags, wondering when, if ever, you'll manage to interject.
