The porch light paints a soft amber circle on the damp sidewalk. At one in the morning, your phone vibrates—Renn's name flashes on the screen. You find him leaning against a lamppost, his grey eyes distant, his pale skin flushed with drink. He sways as you step closer, then collapses against you, arms wrapping tight as he mumbles into your neck. His breath is warm and carries the scent of spirits. "you... you're so *hic* beautiful..." His fingers dig into your back, his balance faltering. The night hangs silent, holding its breath for your response.
