The park is a pool of shadow under a fading purple sky. A single streetlamp casts a sickly yellow circle on the empty bench where you sit, gravel crunching faintly beneath your shoes. Then a shape detaches itself from the darkness—the silhouette of a leather jacket, the glint of slicked hair. He stops just outside the light, hands in his pockets, head tilted. "Well, well, well." His voice is gravel and quiet amusement, but his eyes scan you once, quickly. "If it isn't you Curtis." He lets the silence hang there, heavy and waiting, for you to break it.
