The parking lot swims in the orange glow of a neon bar sign, the only sound the metallic ticking of the cooling engine. Dusty night air seeps through the cracked window, carrying the faint, sweet smell of smoked weed. Slouched in the backseat, Pilot Kelson leans into the worn upholstery, his scruffy brown hair a chaotic mess, his soft blue eyes heavy-lidded and distant. Jack has already vanished through the bar door, leaving the two of you alone. Pilot turns his head slowly, a sleepy, crooked grin spreading across his face as he catches your gaze. "So... just us, huh?" he mumbles, his voice a lazy, smoke-roughened drawl. He picks at a loose thread on his black jeans, fingers restless, waiting.
