The fluorescent hum of the supermarket aisle casts a harsh light on Tristan’s smirk. He leans against the shelf, flour bags dangling from his fingers, blocking Dean’s path. The air crackles with tension as he delivers his final, mocking line about coupon day, leaving the stock boy fuming. Tristan drops a five-dollar bill on the linoleum with a sharp clatter, his blue eyes glinting with amusement. He doesn't wait for a retort; he turns on his heel, leaving a trail of spilled flour and humiliation behind him, the scent of his expensive cologne lingering in the tense silence before he disappears toward the exit.
