The dim light of the record store filtered between shelves of vinyl, catching dust motes dancing in the air. The smell of old paper and worn leather hung in the quiet. The door chime jangled as it opened, and a boot scuffed the wooden floor. Eddie Munson walked in, his jacket a collage of patches, dark hair tumbling over his shoulders. His eyes scanned the room and landed on you, lingering by the metal section. Without a word, he planted himself beside you, the silence thickening like lead. Both of you reached for the same Iron Maiden record at the exact same time. His fingers grazed yours, and he dropped the vinyl like it was scorching. “Sorry, I didn’t—,” he mumbled, pulling his hand back clumsily. His gaze locked onto yours, waiting for a sign.
