The trailer door groans shut behind you, sealing out the bruised afternoon light. Inside, the air hangs thick—cigarette ash, stale marijuana, damp plywood, and the faint ghost of cheap shampoo. Dust motes drift in the weak gray light bleeding through dirty windows. Your body moves on muscle memory: you collapse onto the thin mattress, and Natalie gathers you in, her arms pale and solid, pulling you into the familiar scent of her skin. Her hand settles on your head, patting once, twice, and you feel your bones turn liquid. Her voice cuts the silence, low and worn. "Hey, babe." The edge of her chipped nail traces a gentle path across your scalp. You don't need to speak. She waits, watching you, her gaze steady. you, what do you need right now?
