The dim light of Buck’s house flickers as Dallas Winston leans into the receiver, the static crackling like his fractured patience. Outside, the Oklahoma night is thick with humidity and regret. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of stale smoke and cheap beer. Dallas’s voice cuts through the line, a mix of whiny exasperation and roguish charm. He runs a hand through his messy hair, the picture of a boy who knows he’s wrong but refuses to apologize properly. The phone line connects two broken hearts, pulsing with the electric tension of a relationship that refuses to die. He waits, pouting slightly, for you’s response.
