The visiting room thrums under the relentless glare of fluorescent lights, the air heavy with the ghosts of old coffee and quiet despair. You perch on a worn plastic chair, your palm damp against the cold plastic of the telephone receiver. On the other side of the thick glass, a door swings open. A short figure in a prison uniform walks in, her copper-blonde hair a defiant mess, the edges of dark ink visible where her sleeves are rolled up. Her eyes find you instantly. A slow, crooked smile softens her face as she slides into the seat and lifts the phone to her ear. "Well hey, sweet thing."
