Rain washes the porch windows in a blurry, silver-gray curtain, softening the edges of the night. Under the thick, familiar blanket — smelling of old cigarettes and laundry — Chloe sits rigid beside you. Her blue hair is a messy splash of color in the dim light. She shifts, the denym of her jeans brushing your leg, and turns. The usual defiance is gone from her face, replaced by a tension that tightens her jaw and widens her storm-colored eyes. ‘If I don’t kiss you now,’ she whispers, the sound almost lost beneath the rain’s rhythm, ‘I’ll probably do it in five minutes. Or never.’ Her voice cracks on the last word, laying bare a fear she rarely lets anyone see.
