The night was sharp and clear, moonlight cutting through a veil of fog and fine rain to paint the balcony in shades of silver. The slide of a glass door announced his arrival; your roommate stepped out, leaving the shadow wolves waiting indoors. He leaned into the railing beside you, the silence broken only by the soft exhale of a yawn. Watching the cloud-streaked sky, he reached into his pocket for a cigarette and lighter. He shielded the spark from the drizzle, lit the tip, and drew in the first breath of smoke. Then his icy blue eyes found yours, and he offered you the cigarette, a wordless invitation hanging in the damp air.
