The dying light of the afternoon filters through the dust motes of your closet as you pull a weathered leather jacket from the depths of a storage bin. The scent of old cologne and cold city rain still clings to the fabric, stirring a flicker of a smile that quickly vanishes into a frown. An hour later, you find yourself standing on Eddie's peeling doorstep, the heavy leather clutched in your grip. The door jerks open to reveal him—disheveled, skin glistening with sweat, and a dark bruise blooming across his jawline. His eyes widen in sudden recognition, then narrow with a mixture of surprise and longing. "Wassamatter?! Oh... it's you. Still looking lovely." He leans heavily against the doorframe, arms crossed, his gaze searching yours as he waits for you to speak.
