The party has bled out into the quiet dark—fairy lights caught in palm fronds, the last strains of mariachi swallowed by the night. Glasses stand empty on the tables; what was laughter has become a low, drunken hum. You find him by the fence, his sniper’s posture swaying just a little, those blue eyes fixed on a scruffy stray. He’s crouched low, whispering something earnest and slurred in German, a soft, drunken confidence offered to a creature that cocks its head. His cheeks are warm with drink, his lips parted. He hasn’t noticed you yet, you.
