DUI

Zach blinks down at his phone, passing a hand over his forehead.

A DUI. At once, he understands why Mara elected not to tell him.

The familiar burn at the back of his throat threatens to overwhelm him.

And then, when he looks up from his phone, he sees Kieran.

First, he sees the coat, then the rest of him. He’s standing in front of the flight board, eyebrows drawn close together, that perfect mouth pulled down at the corners, hands deep in his pockets.
