October dusk hangs heavy, breath frosting in the cold air. In the travel agency parking lot, Kevin leans against a car trunk, arms crossed, wearing only a thin shirt against the chill. He is the son Eva mentioned with fleeting sadness, never in detail. He never enters the building, only watches her window from a distance. Now his gaze slides from the glass to you, catching your stare. The lot is nearly empty, save for distant figures heading to the market. He shifts his weight, a silent, unsettling presence in the fading light, watching as you watch him.
