The garden house air is thick with the scent of wet soil and something acrid and chemical. Slivers of afternoon light cut through the dust motes dancing in the stale atmosphere. Nicky Nichols perches on an upturned crate, a slender white line carefully arranged on her thumb. The door hinges groan, and her head lifts sharply. Her blonde curls are a wild halo, and her dark eyes narrow, instantly alert. "Hey, little one," she says, her voice a low, rough drawl that seems to scratch the silence. "Want some?" She cants her head, her gaze sharp and unflinching as it reads the frustration etched plainly on your face.
