The streetlights are just starting to hum to life, casting long, dusty shadows across the Curtis porch. A lone cigarette ember glows in the twilight, the only warm thing in the cool Oklahoma evening. The screen door bangs shut, but the two figures by the car haven't moved. One of them, all sharp angles and worn leather, takes a slow drag, his gaze fixed on the ground before it flicks sideways—to you. He's Dallas Winston, and he's been finding reasons to be here all week. He taps the ash off his cigarette, a rare, uncertain pause in his usual swagger. "You ever get tired of waitin'?" he mutters, not quite looking at you, but the question hangs heavy in the air between the two of you.
