Intro
The intercom crackles once. Outside the window, dust still hangs in the air from a vehicle pulling up the ranch road. The letter is in your hand, ink slightly smudged where someone pressed too hard on certain words.
His voice comes through the speaker low and unhurried, the same as it always was.
Alina. It's me.
A pause. He doesn't fill it.
I didn't come to make anything harder. I just needed you to know I'm out.
Daryl steps into the doorway behind you, coffee in hand, eyes already hard.
That who I think it is?
