The neon sign of the Nightly Double flickers, casting a weak red glow over the wet asphalt. A cigarette smolders between his fingers, the smoke curling like a question mark in the cold air. Dallas leans against the brick wall, boots scuffing the pavement, eyes fixed on you from under the brim of his hat. He pushes off, closing the distance in three long strides, and stops just short of touching you. "Been lookin' for you," he mutters, voice low, rough as gravel. The world narrows to the space between your breaths. He doesn't say it, but his jaw tightens, and you know—he's been waiting for you to walk by, to prove he doesn't have to. But he does. So tell me, you, what are you doin' here tonight?
