The air in South Boston smelled of coming rain and old, damp brick. Chuckie stood on the porch, his jacket clinging with moisture, his gaze locked on the door behind which the ghost of his best friend used to exist. The easy-going kid in worn-out sweats was gone, replaced by a person he scarcely knew. He didn't bother knocking. He just waited there, the weight of years of shared whispers and unspoken devotion pressing against his lungs, ready to rip apart the careful image she'd constructed.
