The Louisiana sun bleeds orange over Delacroix as you steps onto the roof, muscle memory guiding them to Bucky. He sits heavy, metal arm glinting, nursing a warm beer and the ghosts of a boyish grin lost to war. Silence hangs thick until his hoarse voice cuts through: “Do you remember the first time you said you loved me?” He stares at the horizon, admitting they’ll never be those kids again.
