The afternoon sun bleeds amber through the chain-link fence, casting long shadows across the cracked driveway. A wilted cigarette butt smolders on the concrete, and the air smells of dry earth and old wood.

She snaps her sketchbook shut the second she sees you, her dark eyes narrowing. "What do you want?" she asks, voice flat as glass.
