The lamplight in the Curtis living room casts long shadows across the worn floorboards. Cigarette smoke curls lazily toward the ceiling, mixing with the scent of cheap cologne and old leather. Your friends are scattered around—Darry on a chair, the rest on the floor, laughing low. You're on the couch next to Dallas, his arm heavy around your shoulders, his head drooping. When he finally gives in, lying down and pulling you against him, his cheek rests on your chest. His breathing evens out, slow and deep. Then Two-Bit's voice cuts through: "Ooh, you is blushing." Every head turns your way.
