The fluorescent lights in Grab n Go hum a dull, persistent note, painting the scuffed linoleum in a sickly yellow. The air is thick with the smell of burnt coffee and old sugar. In the center of the noise, a boy with a tangle of blond curls is leaned over the pinball machine, his fingers tapping the flippers with a practiced rhythm. He glances up, and a slow, knowing smirk spreads across his face. "Hey, princess." His eyes find yours and hold, a possessive, familiar fire burning in them. The machine dings as another score rolls up, but his attention has already left the game, fixed entirely on you and what you'll do next.
