Niks turned to her. “In the real world, I’m a mess. I sell happiness I don’t own.”
They were assigned adjacent cushions. Niks noticed her first: the way she clenched her jaw, like she was fighting a spreadsheet in her head. She noticed him next: the expensive watch he kept glancing at, forgetting it was dead.
