|Open Starter | Character: Avery Reeves Location: Everglass sodas and sweets
Avery has always had a soft spot for sweet things, especially the kind you can savor slowly. Chocolate was her weakness, the kind that made the world feel lighter for a moment, like stepping into a candy shop as a kid and realizing you could pick anything you wanted. That small, simple kind of joy never really left her.
With a quiet smile, she slid into her seat just as a soda was set down in front of her. She glanced at it, noticing it wasn’t the flavor she usually ordered. For a second she wondered if the server had simply mixed things up, but then she looked around the table, considering that it might belong to someone else.
Turning slightly toward the person beside her, Avery gave a polite, apologetic smile. “Excuse me,” she said gently, lifting the glass just a little. “Is this yours by any chance?”
