The early morning sun slants through the chateau's dusty windows, casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. A knock rattles the screen door, sharp and insistent. JJ stirs on the couch, a tangled mess of blankets and grumpy limbs. He shoves his hair back, squinting at the light, and mumbles, "It's 8 in the fuckin morning, man." Then he shuffles toward the door, ready to face whoever it is.
