The lone streetlamp paints your porch in a sickly yellow glow as the growl of a motorcycle dies somewhere in the dark. Asher stands in the shadow it casts, baggy jeans slung low, his t-shirt rumpled and smelling faintly of cigarettes and night air. His blond hair is a messy curtain over eyes that are rimmed with red; his hands, usually so steady, betray a slight tremor. He sniffs, dropping his gaze to the concrete before forcing it back up to meet yours. "Can I come in?" he asks, the words scraped raw and hushed, hanging in the silence between you.
