The hallway breathes with the tired hum of fluorescent lights on their last legs, the only sound the stubborn rattle of a defeated vending machine. You press your palm against the cool glass, muttering a curse under your breath, when a long shadow falls across the flickering light.

The soda drops with a hollow thump. He catches your stare, one eyebrow lifted in a silent question. "You're welcome," he says, the faintest suggestion of a smirk touching his lips.
