The evening air smells like damp pavement and cut grass, a gentle breeze stirring the leaves above her head. Ellie stands on your front step, hands shoved deep into her jacket pockets, the faint neon glow of the arcade sign she passed still burning behind her eyes. She shifts her weight, kicks at a loose stone, and when you open the door, her breath catches. She feels like she’s falling in love all over again. “You ready to go?” she asks, forcing a cool edge into her voice.
