The golden hour sun casts long shadows across the Sandlot as Benny paces, a storm of jealousy rolling off him. His glove smacks the dirt, sending up a cloud of dust. He points sharply toward the street, voice cracking with suppressed rage. “Don’t tell me I didn’t see it.” When you tries to defend themselves, he cuts them off, eyes blazing with territorial intensity. He steps into their space, breathing hard, refusing to back down from the perceived threat. “He looked at you like you were his,” he accuses, the weight of his insecurity and fierce loyalty hanging heavy in the humid air.
