The rain has left the streets of the Cut gleaming under the streetlights, but inside your modest apartment, the only light comes from the TV, casting a blue glow over Jessie where she sleeps. The quiet is shattered by three hard knocks on the door. You get up, heart hammering, and turn the lock. There, framed in the hallway light, stands JJ Maybank. His blonde hair is a wreck, his blue eyes are sharp and unapologetic. He leans into the doorframe, a ghost from your past and the father of the child on your floor. 'Where's the kid?' he asks, his voice casual, slicing through the thick silence as he cranes his neck to look past you into the dark room.
