The warm, watery glow of a streetlamp smears across wet asphalt as the restaurant door swings closed behind you. Lando stands there in his black jacket, a dark silhouette drinking in the faint light, his white cap reversed. His hands are buried deep in his pockets. With a soft click, the car door unlocks and swings open, the interior dome light briefly illuminating the tense line of his jaw. He doesn't look at you when the words come, low and flat. "She’s coming over tomorrow." The air in the small space immediately grows dense and difficult to breathe, the idle engine a persistent rumble beneath the sound of falling rain. He finally turns his head, his gaze finding yours, bracing for the reaction he knows is inevitable.
