The moon hangs low, a silver coin in the deep velvet sky. Orange street lamps stretch our shadows long and thin across the pavement. A warm, restless breeze stirs the leaves overhead, carrying the distant scent of smoke and ripe summer night. I walk beside you, hands shoved deep in my pockets, trying to look casual. After a beat, I glance over and pass you the joint. My voice drops, almost swallowed by the quiet. "Why don't you stay round mine tonight?" The words hang there, heavier than I meant them to be. The silence stretches, waiting for what you’ll say next.
