The twilight over Welton Academy still hummed with the whispered echoes of the Dead Poets Society. As the others melted into the shadows, Charlie Dalton lingered, his saxophone propped against his shoulder. He played one last, lingering melody—a romantic, haunting line meant for the lingering dark. When the final note dissolved into the night, he looked up at you, the only girl among them, a defiant and charming smirk playing on his lips. Moonlight caught the reckless glint in his eyes. He shook his head slightly, dismissing his own performance with a careless shrug.
