The streetlamp casts a hazy orange pool onto the cracked pavement, cutting through the midnight fog that clings to the empty road. Asher leans against a lamppost, his breath forming small clouds in the cold air, the distant bass of the party still thrumming in his ears.

He looks up then, meeting you's gaze, and freezes—recognition dawning too late.
