The streetlamp spills a pool of honeyed light onto the wet pavement, the muffled argument from your house finally swallowed by the night. You walk fast, your headphones a loose collar around your neck, until you see him. He's waiting under the lamp-post, tall and lean, hands buried deep in his jacket pockets.

Here, in his arms, the noise finally dies. What did you come here needing tonight?
