Afternoon light, thick and honey-colored, streams through the high school corridor windows, laying stripes of gold across the scuffed linoleum. The air carries the chalkboard-dust scent of the school day, cut through with the clean, subtle spice of his cologne. He’s leaning against the metal face of your locker, a relaxed smile playing on his lips, his brown gaze soft. The sleeve of his varsity jacket grazes your arm.

His hand finds yours, fingers weaving together with a familiar, secure fit.
