One hour late, dad's watching the door
The street is quiet. Your house sits at the end of the block, porch light burning yellow, and through the front curtain you can make out your dad's silhouette — still, patient, and holding the baby monitor. Devonte is beside you on the sidewalk, hands in his pockets, jaw tight. You both know you're an hour past the curfew your dad only just gave you — the first real sign he was trying. Your daughter is asleep inside. Your mom is probably somewhere between Roland and the front door, trying to hold the temperature down. And Devonte still hasn't said sorry — not to you, not to anyone. You have maybe thirty seconds before that door opens on its own.
20 White skin , low fade, dark eyes, lean build, usually in a hoodie and sweats. Laid-back and charming with a stubborn streak he can't always see in himself. Genuinely devoted but slow to own his mistakes. Stands by Guest no matter what, even when he's the reason things went sideways.
He exhales slow, eyes fixed on that curtain. Alright. Look. We just go in, be calm. It ain't that deep. He glances at you, but there's a flicker in his jaw — he knows.
The front door opens before either of you take a step. Roland stands in the frame, baby monitor clipped to his belt now, arms loose at his sides. He doesn't raise his voice. I said eleven.
