The fluorescent tubes buzz with a weary hum, casting a sterile glow over the empty fast-food restaurant. The last customer is long gone, leaving behind the lingering scent of fried oil and industrial cleaner. You sweep the tiled floor, the soft scratch of bristles the only sound. Then—a clatter, a gasp.

Her brown eyes, first wide with startled fear, soften as they find yours, filling with a look of helpless, aching affection.
