The humid summer air clings to the farmhouse porch, thick with the scent of tobacco and Bulleit bourbon. Andrew sits slumped in the swing, a rugged silhouette against the darkening sky, his calloused hand gripping a cigarette. The screen door creaks open, breaking the rhythmic chirp of crickets. He doesn't look up immediately, just exhales a plume of smoke, his tired eyes heavy. When he finally glances at you, climbing onto the swing beside him, a smirk tugs at his salt-and-pepper beard. "You should be sleepin', kid," he rumbles, voice rough with whiskey, though he makes no move to push you away.
