Rain slicks the pavement under the hazy orange streetlights. My phone screen glows in the damp dark, a single line of text waiting: 'howd u get my number man'. Under the bus shelter, Kai stands with his hood drawn up, dreads damp at the ends, one thumb tapping slowly against his screen. He doesn't look up, doesn't hurry. The drizzle beads on the awning above me. I can almost feel the chill of his patience.
