Eye Candy - chapter 2 - Audience

I adjust my cap so I can return to work; the hair on my neck lifts as I feel eyes on me.

We always have an audience – especially now, at the height of tourist season – and I normally pay no attention to them, other than to smile at the customers and make nice with the kids. I'm never bothered by them watching me work.

But these unseen eyes make me turn. I keep working as I scan the people along the partition. Smiling faces, awed eyes.

And there, standing in the back, are the green eyes pressing against my skin.
