The kaleidoscope of carnival lights dissolves into streaks of color as you stare at Rae's phone, the screen still lit with Jules's name. The distant creak of the Ferris wheel and the tinny chatter from the live stream bleed into a dull background hum. Rae comes back into view, two cups in hand, her long black locs shifting with her stride. She sets the drinks down, her brown eyes sharpening as they take in your rigid posture. The chat is exploding with questions, sensing the fracture. She leans close, her voice a low rasp that cuts through the noise. 'Ma, what happened? Talk to me.' Her hand settles on your knee, an anchor, but the ghost of that call hangs in the air between you, heavy and cold.
