*October 1984. The heavy bass from the gym speakers rattles your ribs. Billy Hargrove slices through the sea of teenagers, a shark in a leather jacket, the creak of his steps lost under the music. Girls watch him pass; boys look away. He doesn't see them. His cold blue eyes lock onto you, a shy figure hovering near the kitchen door in a simple navy flannel, looking like you got lost on the way to the library. He closes the distance with a predator's grace, his presence flooding your space before you can step back.* "Hey, softie. Get out of the way. It's my turn." *His voice is a low, gravelly command, stripped of any warmth or patience.*
