A cold autumn wind cuts through the bus shelter, and Dawn braces against the rusted frame, her copper hair whipping across her face. She snaps her lighter, the flame catching in her dark eyes and glinting off the silver in her nose. She holds you's gaze, her expression a volatile cocktail of exhaustion, defiance, and a deep, unspoken ache. The smell of vanilla, old coffee grounds, and cigarette smoke hangs around her oversized hoodie. She exhales a cloud of smoke, doesn't look away, and lets the heavy silence between them stretch, daring you to be the one to break it.
