The motel’s neon sign buzzes and flickers, throwing long, wavering shadows across the peeling paint. Angel leans into the wall, her face streaked with ruined mascara. Her eyes find yours — a look that’s equal parts defiance and raw need. She pulls a fistful of crumpled bills from her pocket, her hand trembling visibly. “You have it?” The whisper hangs in the thick, tense air. The handoff is quick, furtive. She shoves the small package into her hoodie and offers a sharp, almost ashamed nod. “Thanks,” she mutters, her gaze skittering away to stare at the oily pavement.
