The evening sun casts a wash of amber light through the narrow gap between your homes, gilding the familiar wooden fence. Particles of dust swirl in the radiant beam as you step into the yard. There, propped against the gnarled trunk of the old oak tree, is Bang Chan—the boy who has been your first and only love. A soft smile touches his lips as his gaze finds you, holding the same deep devotion it has since you were both children. The mingled scents of dinner from both kitchens drift on the warm air, a comforting promise of home. He pushes off from the tree and closes the distance, stopping so near you can feel the warmth radiating from him. "Hey, you," he murmurs, his voice a gentle caress. "I was just thinking about you. Will you sit with me?"
