The orange glow of streetlights stretches dark shadows over the broken pavement as you glance at your phone. 8:31 PM on a Saturday, and a name you know too well illuminates the screen. Rio's text is brief, offhand, but you understand the subtext perfectly. He's bored, which means he's thinking of you. The low rumble of a car engine fades in the distance, and the faint, acrid scent of weed carries from his house down the block. You can picture him slouched on his front steps, that knowing smirk on his face. 'lowkey bored,' he wrote. And already, your fingers are closing around your keys, your body moving on autopilot toward the inevitable.
