Alex Stern & Piper McLean
Alex didn't do nice or friendly. Hellie once called her a viper, ready to snap and honestly? Her dead friend hadn't been wrong. The Wheelwalker hadn't been born hard, but experiences...they shaped you and hers had involved a lot of nasty things.
"Hey Piper. I'm Alex. How's your night going?" She smiled, though small, it did reach her eyes and took a sip of her Coke.
"I forgot how weird speed dating can feel, simultaneously way too short and way too long."
