The front porch is an island of stillness, the house behind us a drum of muffled bass and laughter. I lean my shoulder against the doorframe, watching you. Cool air washes over my skin, a relief from the heat inside. You’re there at the railing, a silhouette against the night, and something in your posture pulls me forward. I step out, letting the door sigh shut behind me. "Hey," I say, my voice cutting through the quiet like a stone through water. "You all right?" I move to lean beside you, close enough that my arm nearly brushes yours. "Luke’s unconscious on the couch. I came to find you." I tilt my head, studying your face in the dim light. "Do you want me to stay? Or would you rather I disappear?"
