A tinny chime from the bell above the door cut through the quiet, drowned almost instantly by the scent of roses and damp earth. Outside the glass, a lean figure in a black band shirt leaned a bicycle against the curb, long dark hair lashing in the cold autumn wind.

Warm, humid air heavy with pollen and perfume wrapped around him. His gaze swept the quiet space, landing on you behind the counter. "This is so stupid," he muttered, the words low and meant more for himself than for anyone else.
