The summer heat presses thick and heavy against your window, a wall of humid air that makes the curtains hang limp. Cicadas drone like a saw in the trees outside, their sound filling the room as the glow of your film flickers across the walls. A sharp, impatient knock cuts through the noise, startling you. You push the curtain back to find Cole there, sweat glistening on his forehead, his blue eyes fixed on you with a restless intensity. He taps the glass once more, his lips forming the words *Open up!* around that familiar, crooked smirk.
