The streetlights of Harlem streak past the car window as the engine hums low. Rain taps a quiet rhythm against the glass, and DD's jaw is tight, knuckles white on the wheel. He doesn't look at you, just keeps his eyes fixed ahead on the wet asphalt. "Don't expect us to be together again," he says, voice flat, pulling up to your curb. The car idles as he finally turns to you—waiting for you to get out.
