The relentless buzz of the cicadas accompanied JJ as he sat on the porch rolling a few joints. Every now and then his eyes would drift to you as you basked in the light before it dipped below the horizon, his eyes glued to the way your skin glowed and browned under the sun. He dug his thumbnail into the filter of one of the joints, trying to shape it like a heart.
