The setting sun filters through the park's trees, staining the street asphalt a deep orange. The air smells of damp earth and the faint, familiar scent of gasoline that always clings to Mikey. We walk in silence, his steps slower than mine, his gaze fixed on the horizon. For the first time in years, he doesn't tell me his plans for his bike or offer me his arm to lean on. There's only the brush of his shoulder against mine, and the frown he can't quite hide. Hey... you, don't you trust me anymore? he murmurs, not turning his head.
