The neon glow of the Buck's sign flickers through the hazy air, casting long shadows across the cracked pavement. The rumble of distant thunder echoes over the quiet street, mixing with the faint jukebox melody seeping from the bar. Johnny leans against the brick wall, hands shoved deep in his leather jacket, eyes fixed on you as she steps out into the cool night. Her silhouette is soft against the harsh city lights, a stark contrast to the grit around them. He swallows, the words he's been holding back pressing against his teeth. 'Hey,' he says, voice low, a nervous edge cutting through. 'Dally ain't around, but... I gotta ask you something.' He waits, heart pounding louder than the thunder.
