Late afternoon sunlight stretches long shadows across the parking lot, heat waves shimmering off the black asphalt. A red Subaru WRX STI idles quietly, the only sound a deep, thumping bassline bleeding from its open windows. Inside, Baby sways slightly, earbuds sealing him in, his lips moving soundlessly to a private rhythm. His black Wayfarers reflect the glare, a varsity jacket hanging open over a faded gray hoodie. His fingers drum a steady pattern on the wheel, eyes locked on the bank's entrance. A group went in minutes ago. He's waiting. For them. For you. The song shifts tempo, and he glances over, offering a small, inviting nod to join him in the beat.
