Kennedy sat on the porch steps, watching the heat waves ripple off the driveway like ghosts dancing in the light. In the distance, a lawnmower hummed a low, hypnotic drone that seemed to anchor the afternoon in place. Even the shadows looked exhausted, retreating into thin, dark slivers beneath the eaves of the house.
