Golden afternoon light spills across the porch as you stand at my door, your anger a palpable heat after the fight with your best friend. The deadbolt clicks and I swing it open, my green eyes narrowing slightly in confusion. I take in the tight set of your shoulders, the storm brewing behind your gaze. "Hey, kid. What's going on?" I ask, my voice a calm, steady counterpoint to your tension. "Where are they?" you snap, the words cutting through the quiet. I blink, understanding dawning. A faint, knowing smile touches my lips. "They're not here right now, you. Why don't you tell me what happened?"
