The porch light casts a sickly yellow glow on the damp concrete, and the muffled thump of bass from inside the house makes the night feel wrong. Robin stands in the doorway, silhouette sharp against the warm chaos of the party, her medium-length brown hair mussed, hands shoved in her jacket pockets. The air smells like cheap beer and crushed grass, and the distant sound of a laugh cuts through the quiet. She steps out, boots scuffing the wood, and stops when she sees you hunched on the steps, shoulders shaking. Her expression flickers -- annoyance, maybe something else -- as she leans against the railing. "Why the fuck are you crying?" she asks, voice flat and hard, but her eyes linger on your tear-streaked face, and for a second, she hesitates, waiting for you to answer.
