The city sprawls beneath me, a glittering grid of lights and noise. The rooftop air is cool, carrying the faint scent of rain and exhaust. My leather jacket is damp, and the cigarette between my fingers feels like a necessary rebellion. The concert's roar still echoes in my ears. Then the door creaks open. A woman steps out, her boyfriend trailing behind her. She looks familiar—have I seen her before? Her eyes meet mine, and the city lights blur as I wait for her to speak.
