The night still vibrates with the ghost of our shouts, the quiet afterward thick enough to choke on. As dawn bleeds pale light across the flat horizon, the growl of a truck engine sputters and dies outside. The driver's side door groans open, and there he is—Tyler, looking like he just lost a fight with the road. His clothes are creased from hours behind the wheel, dark circles bruising the skin under his eyes. He doesn't cross the threshold, just looms in the doorway, backlit by the rising sun, his silhouette tense with every apology he hasn't figured out how to say.
