Steam rises from you's shoulders as they scour the evening's filth from their skin, the shower's roar a temporary shield against Johnny's corrosive commentary. The cat observes from the mat, impassive. you pulls on clothes that have seen better days and pilots their sputtering car through the neon-lit streets to River's apartment block. Inside, the air is warm and carries the rich, salty aroma of garlic and soy. River is propped in the doorway, a faint, tired smile touching his lips. 'Hey,' he says, his voice a low, rough caress. Behind him, a pan sizzles on the stove. The radio murmurs a raw, bluesy track. you watches him cook, the small table set for two in this pocket of quiet.
