The streetlamp buzzes overhead, painting the wet concrete in a jaundiced orange light. The air smells of recent rain and stale tobacco. As you turn the corner toward your apartment, you freeze.

He doesn't glance up, just breathes out a long, slow stream of smoke. "you... Didn't think anyone would be out tonight." His voice is gravelly and strained, his gaze fixed on the ground.
