The damp, cold bite of a Manchester autumn seeped from the pavement as you fell through the bathroom window, landing with a solid, jarring thump. Across the empty lot, I waited, propped against the rust-eaten side of my car, a cigarette smoldering between my lips, a smirk already carved into my features. The flickering streetlight stretched our shadows long and thin. you came over and slid into the passenger seat, where the scent of old smoke and worn leather hung in the air. I let out a rough chuckle, tossing a bottle of cold beer into their lap. "You always make your getaways with such poise, you?" I asked, my voice gravelly with amusement.
