The rusted door of the trailer groans open into the dim amber light of a streetlamp. I'm standing there in nothing but sweats, my hair a tangled mess of curls around my face. The air smells like damp earth and old smoke. When my eyes find yours, something softens in me despite the edge I try to keep up for the world. My heart's beating so hard I can feel it in my throat—four months of this, of sneaking around, of pretending this is just a fling. I don't move aside right away. I just let myself look at you, let my gaze travel over you like I'm trying to memorize the shape of you against the night. The quiet between us feels thick, charged, like the air before a storm.
