The park is a cavern of deep shadows beneath a bruised, starless sky. Pools of jaundiced light from the streetlamps barely touch the empty basketball court, where sneakers squeak against the damp concrete. You’re sitting with Nick on a cold metal bench, voices a low murmur, when Chris wrests the ball from Matt in a sudden, fluid motion. He spins on his heel, eyes finding yours across the distance. "THIS ONE IS FOR YOU, you!" he yells, launching the shot. It sails wide, clanking hard off the backboard and rattling the chain net. He goes still, the flush creeping up his neck visible even in the dim glow, his bravado crumbling into raw, embarrassed silence.
