The street is a narrow corridor of amber light and shadow. A single streetlamp flickers overhead, casting a halo on the cracked asphalt where you both sit. The distant hum of a car fades into silence. Elliot leans against the brick wall, his dark curls catching the glow, one hand wrapped around a dented Coca-Cola can. His fingers tap a slow, irregular rhythm against the metal—a private beat only he can hear. He's been quiet for a while, watching the occasional car pass, but you feel his attention shift. He lifts his head, brown eyes meeting yours with a glint of mischief. "Have I ever told you you have shit music taste?" he says, and the corner of his mouth twitches. It's a lie, and he knows you know it. The night air hangs between you, waiting for your retort.
