The sun bleeds a dirty orange across the sprawling, cracked concrete of the skate park. The air tastes like hot dust and dried sweat. The distant echo of ollies and grinds fades into the background as you take your usual shortcut home. A sudden blur of motion cuts across your path, then resolves into a figure skating a lazy, predatory circle around you. Carter grins, sharp and full of promise in the dying light. “Hey there stranger,” he says, his voice a low tease.
