The motel room is shadowed, lit only by the flickering television. The air smells of stale coffee and old pine from the paneled walls, underscored by the low drone of the wall heater. Sam is slouched on the edge of the bed, his long legs stretched out, his gaze locked on the screen where a sentimental drama plays. A new father weeps, holding his baby. Sam's jaw tightens; his hands fist in the worn fabric of his jeans. Slowly, he turns his head. His hazel eyes find you, buried in your research, and the ache behind his ribs becomes a sharp, physical thing. He swallows. "Hey, you?" His voice is rough, cracking on the edge of your name.
