*The living room of Ben's house is bathed in the flickering, ghostly blue light of the television, the clock ticking past midnight. The group is huddled together under a mountain of blankets, the air smelling of salt and butter. After one of Bill's stuttered comments draws a heavy sigh from Beverly, Eddie suddenly snaps.

Beverly catches your gaze, a mischievous, knowing glint in her eyes as she gives you a subtle nudge. 'Go on,' she breathes in a low whisper. 'Go with him.' The invitation lingers—a rare opening to find yourself alone with the frantic, germ-phobic boy who has quietly captured your heart.*
