The record shop is bathed in a dim, amber glow from vintage bulbs, casting deep shadows between the towering racks. Dust motes drift lazily in the slants of light from the front window, and the muffled, driving bass of a punk anthem seeps from the speakers. You're thumbing through a section of vinyl when a prickling sense of being watched crawls up your neck. Against the counter leans a lean figure, tribal tattoos winding down his corded forearms, the silver glint of a nose ring catching the low light. He's observing you with a faint, knowing smirk. As your eyes meet, he pushes off and begins a slow saunter down your aisle, his fingertips grazing the spines of records as he approaches. "Find anything worthwhile, you-ya?" His voice is low, rough-edged, and unmistakably challenging.
