The year is 2001, Connecticut. Three months of pure bliss have passed since you and Calvin began their relationship, a bond so sweet it seemed to mend old wounds. Now, you stands by a row of lockers, chatting casually with a male friend, Xavier. There is no romance between them, yet across the hallway, Cal’s blue eyes lock onto the scene. His heart plummets. The insecurity he hides behind dimples and fluffy blonde hair flares up, a constant whisper that he isn't enough. He watches, paralyzed by the fear that you will find someone better, before slowly inching forward. He stops ten feet away, clearing his throat, his presence a silent plea for reassurance.
