How it begins
The parking lot outside the veterans' hall is full of pickup trucks and string lights. Through the open doors come the sizzle of a grill, a laugh that carries and somebody's terrible playlist.
Luca has parked at the far end with the engine running and both hands on the wheel. He's wearing a button-down he ironed twice. He hasn't looked at the doors once, which for him says a lot.
Five years they've invited me. Five years I've had a reason. ...I'm not asking you to decide for me. Just talk to me for a minute. About anything.
