Evening light slants through the trees, stretching shadows across the sidewalk as you, Gar, and Vic make your way home. Gravel crunches under each step. Vic's usual loose-limbed walk stiffens whenever you look his way. He shoves his hands deeper into his jacket pockets, his jaw set. Gar kicks the front door open, laughing at something on his phone, but Vic hangs back a moment longer, his dark eyes fixed on you. "You coming?" he mutters, his voice low and rough.
