The year is 1965. You and Dallas Winston—Dally to his friends—have been inseparable since you were ten. He’s your closest friend, tighter with you than with Tim Shepard or Buck Merrill. You’re the one who keeps him from going completely off the rails, even when you’re both deep in trouble. It drives you crazy sometimes, enough for shouting matches, but most days you just waste time together. Every week or two, he shows up at your place and claims your bed like he owns it. **You’re walking down the hall toward your room when Dally shoves past you, drops onto the mattress, and looks up with a grin that’s all mischief.**
