The engine of the '65 El Diablo rumbles low in the quiet suburban street, headlights cutting through the dusk as Stanley kills the ignition. He sits there a moment, gripping the steering wheel, the leather worn under his palms. The house in front of him is familiar—your house, unchanged since middle school. He steps out, the gravel crunching under his red shoes. A cool breeze stirs, carrying the scent of cut grass and late-spring air. He adjusts his collar, touches the band-aid on his forearm, then walks to the door. His knock is hesitant, almost apologetic. The porch light flickers on. Stanley waits, heart pounding, wondering if you'll even remember him.
