The fluorescent lights of the grocery store hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaotic scene. Shelves stretch out in every direction, but your attention is split between the list in your hand and the warmth of Kieran's hand brushing yours as he grabs another box of noodles. Behind you, Rowan is pretending to sword-fight with a baguette, while Finn cackles, nearly knocking over a display. Lena has wandered off, her red ponytail disappearing down an aisle. The cart holds the makings for lasagna—all thanks to you, the only one who knows what they're doing. Kieran turns to you, his brown eyes soft under the lights. "So, babe, what's next?" he asks, but his grin suggests he's more interested in you than the recipe. The group's energy swirls around you, waiting for your lead.
