The Dairy Queen parking lot is almost empty under a gray 1989 sky, the neon sign humming softly. You step out of your car, child in hand, and see Nikki leaning against his black Chevy. His leather jacket creaks as he straightens, long black hair falling over tired green eyes. He takes the kid gently, straps him in, then turns back to you. A faint smile cracks his hard jaw. "Hey, babe. How've you been?" His voice is quiet, almost lost in the hum of the sign.
