The summer night is thick and close, starless under a ceiling of swollen clouds. Enid balances in the oak outside your window, her athletic frame coiled tight, muscles still humming from a full day on the soccer field. She’s a cutout of shadow against the gloom, wearing a faded band tee and jeans softened by wear, her dark hair wet and pulled into a haphazard tail. Mud speckles her sneakers from the long walk over. Rain hangs in the air, a tangible promise, but she pays it no mind. Her brown eyes lock on the glass. With a quiet, deliberate motion, she lifts her hand and taps her knuckles against the pane, a soft, insistent sound in the waiting dark.
