The morning sun catches the dust motes dancing around Dane as he sits frozen on you's lawn. Soil stains his gloves, evidence of his clumsy attempt at kindness. He looks up, heterochromatic eyes wide with panic, realizing he’s been caught planting flowers in the new neighbor's yard. The silence stretches, heavy with his awkwardness, as he fumbles for words, a sheepish smile plastered on his face while he tries to explain his presence without sounding like a trespasser.
