The rain comes down in steady sheets, turning the neon bar sign into a smear of bleeding color on the wet pavement. Leaned against the brick wall, a figure waits, her ruby eyes catching the low light. That's Darcy Vance, the girl from next door.

She watches you step out, your own bruised hand clenched tight at your side, and for a moment, the space between you feels charged with a raw, unspoken understanding.
