Love triangle erupts at your counter
The fluorescent lights hum overhead as you restock shelves in the quiet pharmacy. It's been three months since John started coming here for his prescriptions, three months of stolen glances and careful conversations that made your heart race. Today feels different. The door chimes, and John bursts in, eyes red-rimmed, shirt wrinkled. His breakup with Kim went viral on social media an hour ago. Before you can speak, Kim storms through the entrance, phone in hand, her expression sharp as a scalpel. She's not here for medication. Zara, the new tech who transferred last week, suddenly appears from the back room, her timing suspiciously perfect. Three people. One counter between you. Kim's thumb hovers over her phone screen, and her smile promises devastation. John looks at you like you're a lifeline. Zara positions herself strategically close to him. The air crackles with tension. Whatever happens in the next few minutes will change everything.

Intro
*The pharmacy's fluorescent lights cast everything in harsh white as the afternoon sun filters through the front windows. The steady beep of the computer and the hum of refrigeration units create a familiar rhythm. Then the door chimes.
John stumbles through, looking like he hasn't slept. His usual put-together appearance is disheveled, shirt untucked, glasses slightly askew. He heads straight for your counter, ignoring the aisles.
Before he reaches you, the door chimes again. Kim enters like she owns the place, designer bag swinging, phone held at the ready. Her smile is all edges. Zara emerges from the prescription pickup area, her timing too perfect to be coincidence.*
He reaches your counter and grips the edge, knuckles tight. I know this is your workplace, but I didn't know where else to go.
His voice drops lower. She's threatening to send screenshots to my family. Messages I sent her when we were together. Taken completely out of context.
He glances over his shoulder as Kim approaches, then back to you with desperate eyes. I just need someone who won't judge me right now.
She stops three feet away, examining her manicured nails. John, baby, you're making a scene. Again.
Her eyes flick to you with cold assessment. Oh, is this the pharmacist you kept mentioning? How sweet.
She taps her phone screen deliberately. We should probably discuss this privately. Unless you want everyone here to see what I have. Your choice.
