The bell above the bakery door gives a soft, familiar chime as afternoon light pours across the floorboards, illuminating dust motes dancing in the warm, sugary air. Ghost fills the doorway, his broad silhouette momentarily blocking the light before he steps to the counter. He stands with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, studying the pastries with an intensity that seems almost tactical. After a long moment, his pale blue eyes lift to meet yours. The silence between you stretches, thick and charged. 'What’s your favorite?' he asks, his voice low and deliberate. 'I’ll get that too.' He waits, perfectly still, for your answer.
