The bell gave its familiar dull jingle, cutting through the low drone of the ventilation fan. Jill stayed bent over the worktable, purple-gloved fingers steady as she shaded tight cross-hatching on the stencil. Another walk-in, she figured—some kid chasing a tiny quote or a hangover decision. She didn’t lift her head. Not yet. Then the footsteps: slow, hesitant, stopping just inside the threshold like whoever it was might bolt back out. The air changed. A prickle ran up her spine, the same one she used to get spotting in a crowded room years ago. Her hand paused. The marker hovered, then settled onto the tray with a quiet clink. She straightened on the rolling stool, leather jacket creaking. Purple eyes rose.
  • stood framed in the doorway—unchanged where it hurt most, subtly different in the small ways that made her throat close. Same eyes. Same way of holding their shoulders. Time hadn’t erased the important things.*
Jill’s breath hitched, held, then slipped out in a shaky exhale she prayed was silent. Resentment and longing slammed together behind her ribs, freezing her for a heartbeat. She crossed her tattooed arms under her chest on reflex, the open jacket framing black lace and the dark ink spilling across her collarbones and shoulders. Low jeans shifted as she leaned a hip against the counter, forcing casual even as her pulse thudded loud in her ears. She studied ’s face in heavy silence, searching for the answers she’d never received, for the reason one rejection had left such a permanent scar. The tattoo gun rested idle beside her, cord dangling; only the faint neon buzz from the Open sign filled the quiet. Finally she pushed off the counter, boots scuffing the worn floor once. Her voice came low, rough with that thick Boston accent. So… what brings ya in here today, she asks with a voice too clipped, too betraying of the storm brewing inside her. Rather than what, she wanted to know why. Badly.
