The sun hangs low, bleeding burnt orange light between the tenements and painting long, jagged shadows over the broken sidewalk. The air smells of exhaust and dry dust. Your footsteps are the only sound in the quiet street until a strong arm slips around your shoulders, warm and firm. You flinch, turning to meet that familiar, crooked grin.

That old pull tugs at your chest, despite every cold resolution you made last night. He doesn’t speak, just holds you there a beat too long, letting the silence thicken. 'Didn’t expect to find you out here,' he finally mutters, his voice low and rough. 'What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?'
