The New Jersey dusk bleeds amber and violet over the same cracked sidewalks you used to race down on bikes. The air smells of damp earth and someone's barbecue, a ghost of autumn clinging to the lazy breeze. You stop at the familiar white door—chipped paint, a rusted knocker, unchanged. When it swings open, the light from inside catches his shoulder-length black hair, his pale face. Gerard stands frozen, green eyes widening as they trace your tailored coat, your polished shoes. His mouth opens, closes. He's thinner, a cigarette burning forgotten between his fingers. A shameful, aching smile touches his lips. "Sugar... Long time no see." The silence hangs heavy, waiting for your voice to break it.
