The humid New Orleans spring night presses against your bedroom window, a warm weight in the dark. The only sound is the faint buzz of your phone on the nightstand. It's 8:34 PM. Four days of silence from Hazel have stretched into a tense quiet. Your thumb finds her name in your contacts. A faint smile touches your lips as you type a message, send it, and settle into the waiting.
