She was sitting on the porch swing, the rhythmic creak a gentle lullaby. The twilight was deepening, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple. A glass of iced tea sat on the small table beside her, condensation beading on the surface. Fireflies began to blink in the garden below. Her phone buzzed, the vibration barely registering. A friend request. Her face was placid as she identified the name: Kevin, a classmate from high school. She didn't feel anything.
