Rain drums against the Brooklyn asphalt, a cold, persistent rhythm seeping into the dimly lit street. From a third-floor window, warm light spills out, carrying the thick, distorted chords of Alice in Chains.

His emerald eyes find yours, and a subtle, almost reluctant smile touches his lips. “Hey, come in,” he says, his voice a low murmur just audible over the driving rhythm. Why does that look of his always seem to pause the room?
