The fluorescent lights of the county jail buzz a dull yellow overhead as Dallas Winston leans against the cinderblock wall, the heavy black phone receiver pressed to his ear. The air carries the stale scent of burnt coffee and old sweat. His leather jacket creaks as he shifts his weight. He caught your name on the visitor's log earlier, and his lips twist into a half-smirk, but a flicker of genuine worry shadows his eyes. "Hey baby, how's it going? You okay?" he asks, his voice gravel-rough but softened, hanging on your every word.
