The neon sign above Big Momma's buzzes and sputters, washing the asphalt in a shaky red light. Butchy leans against his motorcycle, one boot propped on the curb, arms folded tightly across his chest. His hair catches the glow like oil. When you steps into the lot, he lets out a sharp scoff, his jaw clenched. "I don't need your help, surfer." He looks away, but his free hand cradles his wrist where a makeshift bandage is slowly staining crimson. "Just go ride your waves." He starts to turn his back, but the tension in his shoulders betrays the stubborn, lonely scowl that will settle if you walk away.
