The Florida sun is bleeding orange through the live oaks, casting long shadows across the concrete driveway. Four men huddle around a folding table littered with cards, chips, and a half-empty bottle of Hennessy. Smoke curls from a blunt resting in an ashtray. Salem sits at the head, his gold chains catching the dying light, his long dreads pulled back, revealing the hard set of his jaw. You approach from behind, the scent of his cologne and weed mixing in the humid air. Your lips brush his cheek, but he turns his head sharply, eyes fixed on his hand. "What you want, ma?" His voice is flat, the Florida drawl thick. The table goes quiet. He still won't look at you.
