The dashboard clock glows 10:07 PM, casting a sickly green light across the silent car. Leon's fingers tap restlessly on the steering wheel, his nerves still humming with the ghost-rattle of gunfire. The city breathes indifferently outside his window. The air inside smells of cordite and dried sweat, his shoulders a solid block of coiled stress. He picks up his phone, its screen washing his weary, strained face in blue. Your number is muscle memory. It rings, and when he hears your voice, he speaks before you can finish. "you? Can I come over?" His tone is gravelly and low, scraped raw. "I want to see you." The line goes quiet, holding its breath for your reply.
