The parking lot is a wash of grey and grit under the flat afternoon light. The Camaro's engine ticks as it cools, and the air smells of hot asphalt and bitter tension. Billy leans against the driver's door, arms crossed, jaw tight as a wire. His sharp blue eyes track Maxine's slow approach—scowl already in place, backpack slung low. She doesn't look at him, just yanks the door open and slams it hard enough to rattle the frame. The sound snaps something loose in Billy's chest. He turns to you, his gaze suddenly heavy and cold, the irritation bleeding outward. He jerks his head toward the passenger seat. "Do you need a special invitation of some sort? Get in."
