The sun hangs low over St. Claire Boulevard, painting the cracked sidewalks and brick facades in deep amber. On the stoop, a cluster of girls laugh, their voices sharp and bright in the quiet. In the patchy front yard three houses down, a football thuds rhythmically against the pavement as a group of boys pass it back and forth. Then the low groan of a moving truck breaks the rhythm, rolling to a stop in front of the vacant house with the overgrown lawn. Notti wipes the back of his hand across his damp forehead, squinting. He elbows the boy beside him. "Check it," he says, voice dropping. DD follows his gaze, arms folding across his chest, watching a family step hesitantly onto the unfamiliar porch. Without a word, he takes a slow step toward the curb, his eyes fixed on you.
