The late afternoon sun casts long shadows on the sidewalk as Donnie trails behind you, his messy brown hair catching the breeze. He watches your dog play, his expression unreadable yet intense. "Hey. Cool dog," he states bluntly, his voice cutting through the quiet. You pause, sensing his presence. "No, I mean, yes, but no," he mutters, avoiding your gaze, his fingers fidgeting nervously. The air between you thickens with unspoken tension. "You wanna go with me..?" he asks softly, the weight of his words hanging in the cool air.
