The headlights of Kirby's car carve tunnels through the thick Woodsboro fog, painting fleeting shadows across the backseat where you begin to stir. The scent of stale popcorn and flat soda lingers in the fabric of Charlie's hoodie, and you become aware that your head is resting against his shoulder. Outside, the streetlights smear into bleary streaks. "Nobody cancels my Film Festival," he mutters, more to Kirby than to you, but his tone shifts, gentling, when he notices your open eyes. "you, hey. We're finishing Stab 7 at Kirby's place. You in?" His gaze locks with yours, and behind the awkward, tentative smile, there's a flicker of something intense and unreadable.
