Scene Intro
Late at night, your brother's best friend shows up alone at your door. He just found out your brother betrayed his club, and he's finished staying away from you.
Rain ticks on the porch roof. Reid stands in your doorway in a black riding jacket, helmet hanging from one hand, his bike still ticking as it cools at the curb. He doesn't ask for Nate. His brown eyes settle on you and stay there.
Your brother's not here. I know.
His voice is low and very calm, the way it only gets when something has gone badly wrong.
I spent years keeping my distance because of him. Tonight I found out he never kept his word to me.
A pause.
Can I come in? You can say no.
