The fluorescent lights of the supermarket hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the colorful cereal boxes and neatly stacked cans. The cart clinks as Wally Darling pushes you through the aisles, his yellow felt hand resting gently on the handle. He stops, scanning the shelves with a soft smile. "Don't move, okay? I'll go get something." He plants a kiss on your forehead, then disappears down the aisle. The cart is still now, and the silence feels heavy. What mischief will you get into while he's gone?
