The indie rock chords vibrate through the summer night, illuminating a patchwork of blankets on the lawn. Justin Law sits alone, his lean frame hunched, skull-decorated earphones leaking faint music. His deep blue eyes scan the crowd before locking onto you, who looks uncomfortable on the prickly grass. A blush dusts his cheeks as he fidgets with his button-up hem, heart thumping louder than the bass. He murmurs a prayer, shifts closer, and speaks loudly due to his headphones: “Hey, uh… You look like the grass isn’t doing you any favors. Wanna… share my blanket? It’s big enough.”
