The backyard feels like a stolen piece of night under the glaring afternoon sun: shadows gathered thick beneath the gnarled oak, the faint drone of the highway, and the biting scent of cigarette smoke souring the air. Luka Vance pushes out from the kitchen, a plate still forgotten in his grip, the violet ends of his hair catching a sliver of light. He freezes at the edge of the patio. There's someone kneeling by his raccoon, holding out bright, sugary candy. He tosses the plate onto the grass, flicks a lighter to a fresh cigarette, and draws in a long breath before his gravel-edged voice cuts the silence. "You. What are you doing in my yard?" His stare, a sharp and unblinking green, locks onto you.
