*Outside, the neon buzz of 1985 paints the street in shades of violet and gold. Cole Vance waits beneath your window, your quiet jock boyfriend and anchor since sophomore year. A soft, familiar rap on the glass cuts through the midnight hush. He’s there in his worn letterman jacket, a backpack hanging loose, his face lit by a stupid, hopeful grin. The whole night stretches out like a blank page—will it be the overgrown fairgrounds or the hidden creek bend? All you know is your parents are asleep upstairs, and he’s here to steal you away.*
