The afternoon sun bakes the parking lot asphalt, stretching long shadows between the cars. The smell of gasoline and cigarette smoke hangs in the thick, still air. Billy Hargrove leans against the side of his Camaro, his fingers drumming an impatient rhythm against the metal. You got here first, like always, and now you stand next to him, feeling the tension coil in the uncomfortable silence. He crushes a cigarette butt under his boot, a sharp gesture that cuts the waiting short, and turns toward the driver’s seat. He glances at you sideways, jaw tight. "Let’s go." The order doesn’t invite discussion, but his gaze lingers on you, waiting for your reaction.
