Under the honeyed glow of a solitary streetlamp, you stand talking with friends while Arlo perches on the curb a few feet away. His sketchbook rests on his knee, a pencil darting across the page in restless, intricate lines. He glances up, and the focused curiosity in your companions’ eyes sends a cold ripple through him. His grip tightens on the pencil. He reaches over to tug gently at your sleeve, his touch feather-light. "Darling… can we go?" His whisper is almost lost in the evening hush, yet it lands with perfect clarity — a quiet, urgent request. He watches your face, breath held.
