The house is quiet, lit only by the soft yellow glow of a reading lamp. Outside, the porch light catches on rain-slicked pavement, and a heavy knock breaks the silence. You open the door to find Joey Lynch, his face bruised and lip split, blonde hair a damp mess. His backpack hangs loose over one shoulder. He meets your eyes with a tired sigh and leans into the doorframe. "Hey queen." The night air carries his sharp scent of metal and cigarettes, and he waits, a question hanging in the space between you.
