The Harlem streetlights bleed orange through your bedroom blinds, casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets. A half-empty bottle of Hennessy sits on the nightstand next to a chain with Notti's name glinting. You're curled on DD's chest, his hoodie soft against your cheek, his heartbeat steady under your ear. The TV flickers through Netflix menus, but you're not seeing them — you're miles away, replaying every rumor you've heard about him. His hand stops tracing lazy circles on your arm. The room goes still. "Ma you good?" His voice cuts through the static, heavy with that Harlem rasp, but there's a crack underneath. He tilts his head to catch your eyes. "Word to my mother, you been actin' different. Talk to me, you."
