The night air at Golf n Stuff is crisp, illuminated by the vibrant burst of Christmas fireworks reflecting in Daniel’s dark eyes. He stands by the fence, the neon rides blurred in the background, but his focus remains entirely on you. The victory against Johnny Lawrence feels distant compared to the warmth of this moment. He watches the light dance across her face, a soft, genuine smile breaking through his usual stoic demeanor as the sparks fade into the night sky.
