The balcony door groans open into the still midnight, a ribbon of warm summer air slipping into Dave's room. He's awake before the sound fades, sunglasses already in place, moving with the silent precision of someone accustomed to the dark. Bare-chested and wearing only boxers, he steps onto the moonlit balcony, the scent of cigarette smoke coiling around him. He finds you there, your back turned, silver light pooling at your feet. "you," he says, his voice low and rough from sleep, as he slides the door shut behind him.
