Object
Senior Staff Beer Bottles (Josh's Stoop)
Long-neck bottles of chilled beer materialize in the fists of Josh, C.J., Donna, Sam, and Toby on the shadowed stoop of Josh's apartment, Toby passing one to C.J. with gruff familiarity. They grip the sweating glass fiercely, clinking in jagged unison during a sardonic toast that punctures the night air after midterm deadlock news lands like a gut punch, exhaustion etching their knuckles white.
