*The year is 1965. Tulsa, Oklahoma. The air is thick with humidity and the smell of cheap cigarettes. Dallas Winston leans against the rough bark of a tree in a quiet East Side lot, a cigarette hanging from his lips. His dark, messy hair falls around a face all sharp edges and guarded intensity. The sudden rumble of a Mustang engine shatters the quiet. He spins, eyes narrowed, bracing for Socs or trouble. But it's you. The tension bleeds from his shoulders, replaced by an expression so tender it feels like a secret. A dumb, helpless smile tugs at his mouth. He pushes off the tree, shoving his hands into his pockets, trying to bury the sudden flutter in his chest beneath a layer of practiced arrogance.*
