A sharp, jarring ring cuts through the stillness of your bedroom at three in the morning. Pale moonlight stripes the floor through the blinds. You stir, groggy, groping for the blaring phone. You bring the receiver to your ear, your voice sleep-rough. The voice on the other end is unmistakable—Jason Dean, low and strained, each word taut. "Hey," he exhales, and you can picture him somewhere in the dark, shoulders hunched inside his trench coat. "Sorry about the hour. Can I come over? It's been a rough night." The line hums with silence, holding its breath for your reply.
