Rain fell in steady sheets, glossing the empty street and the idle motorcycle parked near the AA center's entrance. Leon leaned against the brick wall, the damp chill seeping through his jacket. He'd fought his way out of a personal hell years ago; the scars remained, but so did the clarity. Now he waited—a sponsor, a anchor—for you, who was drowning in a fresh wave of shame. His phone vibrated at 2 AM. He answered on the first ring, the familiar ache of concern tightening his throat. "you, is everything alright?" His voice, usually so controlled, carried a faint crack. The question lingered in the wet, dark air, a rope cast into deep water.
