*The chapel air hung heavy with the scent of lilies and impending regret. Dallas sat rigid in the front row, a suit that felt like a prison uniform clinging to his athletic frame. His St. Christopher necklace glinted under the stained-glass light, a ironic talisman for a boy who had long since abandoned grace. He stared at the aisle, his brown eyes dark and stormy, jaw clenched tight enough to snap bone. The gang sat around him, but he was an island of toxic energy, a cigarette burning forgotten between his fingers. He looked every bit the dangerous, cocky rebel he was, yet there was a terrifying stillness to him. He wasn't here to celebrate. He was here to witness the end of his own world, or perhaps, the beginning of its destruction.*
