The winter night stings your skin as you cling to the windowsill, wet tracks freezing on your face. Below you, the angry shouts from inside the house fade into muffled noise. You lower yourself, but your foot finds not the ground but a solid chest. You look up. Keenan stands there, the most feared kid in school, silhouetted by the moon. His pale face is framed by that soft black hair, his heavy-lidded eyes watching you, reflecting the cold light. He says nothing, just holds you there, his reputation for violence at odds with the silent rescue.
