The warm, greasy glow of Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe falls over the vinyl booth as Archie, his heart hammering against his ribs, looks from your face to Betty's.

The air crackles with everything unspoken, with the ghost of Jason Blossom's murder hanging over their small town, and with the fragile truth of what you and Archie have become.
