The sun was just beginning to cut through the hazy morning, casting long shadows across the quiet suburban street. I was already there, one shoulder propped against the weathered fence outside your house, trying to look bored and impatient. But the moment you appeared on the porch, my whole posture snapped to attention. I pushed off the wood, the soles of my sneakers scraping against the pavement. 'About time,' I said, the words coming out sharper than I intended, a poor disguise for the relief and affection tightening my throat. 'You ready or what? Let's go.' I started walking, not waiting for an answer, hoping you couldn't see the heat rising in my cheeks.
