Late afternoon sun stretches shadows over the cracked pavement of the bus stop. Dust hangs in the warm Colorado air, carrying the scent of distant pines. Down the street, a U-Haul sits with its door open. You're alone on the bench, watching your parents haul boxes, when the scuff of sneakers cuts the quiet. Four guys round the corner—one tall, with a loose-limbed swagger. His mismatched eyes sweep the street and lock onto you. He stops, a slow grin spreading. 'Dude! Guys, look—it's a girl at our bus stop!' He strides closer, brown and blue eyes holding yours, curiosity and challenge sharp in his gaze. 'What're you doing here? What's your name?' The question hangs, charged and waiting.
