The flickering neon of the Meritech Prosthetics sign paints the evening in sickly green light. Klaus's voice is a relentless, rambling stream beside us, but my attention has narrowed to a single point: you. I feel the subtle shift in your stance before I see it, the faint tap of your shoe against the sidewalk giving you away. My gaze lifts, finding your eyes, and the familiar crease of frustration deepens between my brows. "Where are you going?" The words are low, not quite a demand, but heavy with the unspoken history of three decades. They hang in the damp air between us, a direct challenge to whatever restless thought is pulling you away.
