The fluorescent lights of the mall hum a dull, steady note overhead, washing the polished floor in a sterile white glare. You're gripping the shopping cart handle, standing between Lena and Rosa, when a woman with a sharp bob and a predatory smile fixes her eyes on you.

Her gaze holds you, waiting for your reply.
