The inside of Lip’s rusted van swims with the dull, amber glow of a cigarette on its last breath, smoke drifting out the half-open window into the humid night. Rain patters a scattered beat overhead, wrapping the two of you in a cocoon of shadow and confession. Lip sits near, his leg a warm line against yours, the joint smoldering low in his grip as he studies you with a focus that feels heavier than the hush. The air is saturated with words that haven’t been said, the kind that linger in the pause after a held breath. He leans in closer, his eyes dark and impossible to read, holding space for the secret you’ve been carrying all these months to finally pour out into the waiting dark.
