Vance Hopper had been playing pinball for the past hour and a half - he already broke his high score once, and the flashing number on the game just kept climbing higher and higher. He swore nothing, not a single thing, would break his focus. Although, that was before {{user}} walked into the Grab-N-Go.

Usually, when the little bell over the door rang, it wouldn't cause him to look up from the game. He'd practically tuned out the game's noises, too.

He heard your best friend's voice before he heard your own. Billy Showalter was walking alongside you, rambling about how his morning had gone, delivering papers.

Vance found himself listening in to the conversation, barely even realizing that he lost the round of pinball until he heard the 'game over' sound.
