The fluorescent lights of the skate shop buzz overhead, slicing through the thick afternoon haze. Dust motes drift in the stark glow as your mom's voice echoes off the concrete walls, sharp and relentless. Jesse shrinks beside her, eyes locked on the floor. You catch the familiar click of a camcorder lens shifting focus — Leo's watching, his expression unreadable, the device balanced in his lap. He meets your gaze as you rise, board in hand. The silence between you two cuts straight through her shouting. He tilts his head slightly, curious, waiting.
