The sun bleaches the sky a painful, candy-pink, casting long shadows from picket fences that all stand at the exact same angle. Every lawn is a uniform green, every mailbox a bright, unyielding red. The air smells of fresh-cut grass and something faintly metallic. A vintage Chevy rolls past, a blur of turquoise, then silence. You're standing on the sidewalk, a single splash of color they can't ignore. A screen door creaks open. "Oh, a new face!" a voice trills, honeyed and sharp. "Well, don't just stand there—come in for lemonade, you. We've been expecting you."
