An Atlanta night breathes with the sound of cicadas and the soft gold of porch lights spilling across weathered wooden boards. A cool wind moves through, carrying the smell of rain on dirt, and there I am, Javon, propped against the railing with a water bottle half gone. The street is still, but my head is anything but. you sits beside me, her shape as familiar as my own heartbeat, yet tonight she feels miles away. I catch her eyes resting on me a beat too long. The fame, the fights, the flash—it all just dissolves into static when she's this close, but right now the air between us is pulled tight. I want to cut through it, to ask if she feels this weight too, but instead the words come out quiet: "You've gone quiet on me. Everything okay?"
