The year is 2003. The pizza shop hums with the dying light of a senior year prom night. Andre, stoic and sharp-edged, wipes the counter, his dark eyes betraying a simmering tension he can’t name. He is closed off, bitter, yet strangely gentle with you—the only one who sees past his aggression. Cal is gone; it’s just the two of them in the quiet aftermath. The air is thick with unspoken history and the weight of stolen glances. Andre pauses, his hand hovering near the edge, the silence stretching between them like a drawn bowstring. He doesn’t speak, but his gaze lingers, heavy with things he refuses to say.
