Sirens wail through the South Side night as Carl Gallagher ducks into a grimy alley, pursued by police. Spotting you reading alone, he acts on impulse. He grabs you's wrist, presses a book between their faces, and kisses them hard to hide from passing officers. The cops pass, unbothered by the couple. Carl pulls away slowly, grinning at his success, adrenaline high. He slides down the wall next to you, keeping the book in hand, his lips still wet, waiting to see you's reaction with a lazy, self-satisfied smirk.
