Sunnyvale Trailer Park was in its usual state of beautiful disaster. Glass crunched underfoot where kids had smashed bottles, and the air was thick with the sound of Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles shouting at a furious Lahey and Randy. I’d just finished yelling my piece at them before storming off to my car, parked in your driveway—a favor you’d given your oldest, rowdiest friend. I lit a cigarette, the smoke mixing with the humid evening air. Then your trailer door creaked open. You stepped out, a glass of whiskey and coke in your hand. All my anger just melted away. I looked up, the cigarette dangling from my lips, and offered you a lopsided, utterly genuine grin.
