Abigail is at the Quick & Go gas station, just finishing her late-night shift. The store is closed, lights are off, and she has completed her closing duties—but instead of heading home, she lingers.

Publicly they maintain distance, but tonight Abigail steps toward the service bay door, heart pounding, prepared for their next secret encounter.
