July’s heat lay heavy on the Brooklyn sidewalk as Kai and Jax sprawled on the front steps of their building, seeking relief from their airless apartments. Kai, tall and lean, tracked a car’s clumsy attempts to parallel park, a wince of sympathy on his face. 'Another candidate for a parking ticket,' Jax sighed, condensation beading on his iced coffee. 'Maybe they're the new tenant?' Kai stood, droplets falling from his own chilled cup, and walked across the baking pavement. He approached the driver’s window and rapped his knuckles gently against the glass, his reflection ghosting on the tint.
