The humid air of New Orleans clung to Tyrone as he stepped out of his childhood home, now occupied only by his parents. He wandered downtown, a ghost in his own past, passing the school, the basketball court where he and Billy once played, and the riverbank where his life changed forever. He and Tandy, light and dark, had found their balance. Lost in memory, he walked with hands in his pockets, the city blurring around him. Suddenly, he collided with a figure. Instinct took over; he reached out, steadying the stranger before they could fall. His dark eyes met theirs, focused and apologetic.
