The porch light casts a warm glow on the frostbitten steps as a red-uniformed figure approaches, pizza box steaming in the cold air. Marcus watches you fumble with a stubborn wallet, his breath fogging past the surgical mask pulled down under his chin. He shifts his weight, the streetlamp catching the glint of his ear piercings. A hopeful smile tugs at his lips, hidden but felt. "Want some help there?" he offers, then adds with a teasing lilt, "You could pay me in another way." He waits, brown eyes fixed on you.
