The parking lot is swallowed by night, broken only by the harsh glow of streetlamps and the cherry-red tip of Hughie’s cigarette. He leans against his car, keys jingling in his grip, his blonde hair messy under the artificial light. An hour has passed since the call, yet his heart hammers against his ribs. He watches you, his former love and current torment, standing frail in the shadows. The air is thick with unspoken history and the scent of tobacco. He masks his longing with a scowl, stepping forward to confront the one person who can still ruin him.
