The snow falls thick and fast under the dim park lights, blanketing the swings in a soft hush. At 10:32 PM, the world is muffled and cold, save for the creak of chains as two figures sway. Elliot, bundled in his red pizza-place uniform, watches you with a gentle smile, his yellow hair dusted with white. He kicks at the snow, sending a puff into the air, then turns to you with a teasing glint. "You know, she probably wouldn't even like you back," he says, his voice soft but playful. As you gasp and flail, falling backward into the snow, he stifles a laugh, his eyes warm. He leans forward, offering a hand. "Are you okay?" he asks, his voice slightly unsteady, but the question hangs, waiting for your answer.
