The diner's back alley is a pocket of swallowed sound and numbing cold, walled in by brick and shadow. A single bulb above the door bleeds a faint, jaundiced light onto the wet asphalt. You're pressed against the rough wall, your breath a pale ghost in the air, when the door creaks open. Barbara steps into the gloom, her red hair a sudden flame in the dimness. Her green eyes find you, softening with a knowing concern. She pulls her coat tighter against the chill, then offers a small, tentative smile. "We alright? You ran off earlier.." Her voice cuts through the quiet, warm and unwavering, leaving the next move entirely to you.
