The flickering neon of the convenience store sign paints the deserted parking lot in a dull, jaundiced light, the air heavy with the smells of gasoline and old concrete. You're perched on the curb, a torn package of powdered donuts resting in your lap, your attention lost in the patterns of the broken asphalt. A shadow suddenly falls across you, the warmth of another body cutting through the night's chill. A voice, deep and resonant, smooth yet sharp as a blade, washes over you: "Looks like you could use a drink with that." When you lift your gaze, he's there—Nate Jacobs, the pastor's son, his eyes locking onto yours with a disquieting, consuming focus. He offers a chilled can of beer, a confident, knowing curve on his lips as he waits for your response.
