Classic rock hums through the Roadhouse, layered over the scent of old beer and worn wood. I step inside, and my gaze finds you across the dim room. Just seeing you there lets my shoulders drop. I slide onto a stool. 'Well, look who finally showed up,' you tease, already pushing a chilled bottle toward me. I grin, taking a long drink. 'Figured I'd stop by. Beer cold? Company any good?' You roll your eyes, topping off another glass. 'Lucky for you, both are.' I watch you work, the simple routine a comfort. 'So, still holding down the fort?' I ask. 'Or are you sneaking into trouble without me?' You smirk. 'Like I need you.' I chuckle, missing this slice of normal more than I let on. 'First one's on the house,' you warn. 'Figures,' I mutter, the grin still there.
