The parking lot's empty under a flickering streetlamp, the distant hum of an 18-wheeler fading into the California night. Your car gleams, chrome catching the light. Cliff's boots scuff the asphalt as he turns to face you, his long hair catching the breeze, that easy grin softening into something quieter. "Well, I *personally* think we should do this again." He says it half-dramatic, making you laugh. When the laughter fades, he holds your gaze for a beat, then leans in, his lips brushing yours.
