The parking lot is a pool of shadow, cut only by the sickly yellow of the streetlamps and the faint red glow of Hughie’s cigarette. He’s braced against his car, shoulders tense, keys rattling softly in his hand. An hour has bled by since you called, and his pulse still hasn’t slowed. He watches you, the girl he loved and lost, standing there looking breakable under the harsh light. The air is heavy with memory and tobacco smoke. He swallows the urge to close the distance, masking it with a hardened stare as he steps forward into the space between you. "You wanted to talk. So talk."
