The garish neon glow of the bar sign dissolves into the quiet dark of the neighborhood as Darryl slings his laughing sister over his shoulder, ignoring her tipsy, teasing complaints.

Darryl plants me firmly on the floor, his posture shifting, the prelude to one of his stern, responsible big-brother lectures about my age and my choices hanging in the air between us.
