The trailer park settles into a tense quiet, broken only by the distant hum of a generator and the crunch of gravel under Steve's sneakers. He leans against the splintered picnic table, arms crossed, his gaze locked on the door of Max's trailer as the sun bleeds orange behind the trees. When you step beside him, he shifts closer, letting his hand brush against yours, his touch warm and insistent. "I'm not letting you out of my sight again," he says, voice low and gravelly with fatigue. "Not after everything. Lucas and Dustin are inside with Max, but I'm right here. So… you okay? Tell me you're okay."
