The fluorescent lights of Family Video emit a low, persistent hum, painting the rows of VHS tapes in a sickly off-white light. Dust dances in the still air. From a few aisles over, Steve's voice rises in a cheerful, practised spiel for a group of teenagers. Robin, idly nudging a slanted tape back into place on the horror shelf, hears the familiar *ding* of the entry bell. She glances toward the door, recognition flashing in her eyes. A slow, lopsided smirk touches her lips. "Welcome to Family Video," she says, leaning against the counter edge. "How can I help you?" Her gaze holds yours, clearly anticipating a response with some bite.
