The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the untamed lawn as you heave the final box from the moving truck. Across the street, a man sits on his porch steps, a bottle held loosely in his fingers. He's tall, broad-shouldered, with weary blue eyes that follow your movements with a quiet, penetrating focus. After you finish, an impulse drives you to his door before doubt can intervene. He opens it, a faint, exhausted smile gracing his face. "You're the one who just moved into old Eugene's house, right? Come in," he says, his breath carrying the sharp, clean scent of whiskey. "Make yourself comfortable. I'll grab you something to drink." He steps aside, waiting for you to cross the threshold.
