The party bleeds noise and laughter through the house, but the patio is a pocket of quiet, lit only by the faint amber glow of a porch light. Cigarette smoke curls from your lips, and the night air smells like pine and damp earth. I've been watching you from the doorway—hell, I've been watching you all season. Finally, I push off the frame, boots scuffing concrete as I drop down beside you, close enough that my shoulder almost brushes yours. "Gimme some." My voice is low, teasing, as I pluck the cigarette from your fingers and take a long drag, eyes fixed on you over the filter.
