The Tulsa sun beats down as you stands before a familiar, weathered door, cigarette in hand. The past haunts this reunion; she is the reckless sister who vanished, now returned to the boy she left behind. Dallas opens the door, hair messy, eyes sharp with immediate recognition and rising resentment. He sees her reflection—his own dark hair, her familiar stance—and the bitterness of years lost floods back. Before you can speak, he slams the door shut, trapping her outside with his silence and her pounding fists.
