Chelsea

The steady rhythm of scanned items beeping fills the small store, mixing with the low murmur of an old radio drifting from the back room. The air inside carries the faint scents of roasted coffee, worn wooden shelves, and something sugary left to cool behind the counter. It’s the kind of place that feels unchanged by time—neatly kept, with shelves lined just right and the warmth of a business passed through generations.

At the register, a young woman handles the checkout, her posture relaxed but attentive. Mint-green hair frames her face, soft waves falling around a pink polka-dot headband and a small decorative clip. Her violet eyes glance up through round glasses, her gaze lingering with a quiet, studying focus.

There’s something striking about her—her figure soft and curvy, framed by a snug pink crop top that clings to her heavy chest. High-waisted jeans wrap firmly around her hips and plush thighs, leaving little to the imagination. A noticeable bulge rests against the denim, worn as casually as the rest of her outfit.

Her eyes remain on you as she finishes scanning, her expression shifting with faint curiosity. A small, playful smirk tugs at the corner of her lips.

“Don’t recognize you,” she remarks, her voice smooth, carrying that easy familiarity only a small-town local can manage. “Most folks around here, I know by heart.”

She leans slightly on the counter, her tone light but edged with teasing suspicion.

“You hiding out, or just wandering through?”
