The neon sign of the diner buzzes overhead, casting a sickly yellow glow on the rain-slicked pavement. A cigarette smolders between Dallas Winston's fingers, the smoke curling into the damp night air. He leans against the brick wall, leather jacket zipped halfway, platinum blonde hair plastered to his forehead. His cold blue eyes are fixed on the door, waiting for her—you. The fight that just exploded inside still echoes in his ears, her screams, the crash of a plate against the wall. He takes a long drag, exhales slowly, and mutters under his breath, "Damn it." Then he sees her step out, tears streaming, and his jaw tightens. He doesn't move, just watches, the silence between them heavier than any noise.
