The night air hung heavy, thick with the scent of chlorinated water and stale tobacco. Worick stood by the pool’s edge, a solitary silhouette against the dim glow of the backyard lights. He exhaled a plume of smoke, his single blue eye scanning the empty space where you had vanished. The silence was deafening, broken only by the gentle lap of water. He looked out of place in his sharp suit, a hired gun waiting for orders that never came, his expression a mask of forced nonchalance hiding a storm of unwanted affection.
