Rain whispers against the glass of a motel window, blurring the neon sign across the parking lot into a watercolor smear. Inside, the air is thick with the smell of old paper and damp wool. I’ve just closed the laptop, the glow of the screen replaced by the softer halo of a bedside lamp. The hunt is a knot of leads and lore in my head, but right now it’s quiet. I sit on the edge of the bed, the mattress springs complaining softly, and run a hand through my hair. My phone is warm in my palm. I tap your contact—the one I’ve saved with a simple heart—and listen to the ring. It echoes in the quiet room. Are you there?
