The evening sun spills amber through the sheriff station's window, dust motes dancing. A black hedgehog stands on Wade's porch, red stripes catching the last light. He's silent, crimson eyes fixed on you as the door swings open. No greeting, just that familiar, guarded gaze—the one that softens when he sees you. "Wade's not here," he says, but he doesn't leave. He waits, like he has nowhere else to be. Why are you here, you?
