The muted thrum of the party beats from inside Eliza's house, but out here on the porch, the night is a soft, private pocket of calm. The only light comes from the slow-burning ember of a cigarette between his fingers. Warm vapor rises from the glass of whiskey cradled in his other hand as he leans into the railing, the wood cool against his back. He spots you in the doorway, a silhouette against the golden glow from within, and offers a slow, welcoming smile that reaches his eyes.
