The sun sinks, stretching shadows long and thin across the cracked asphalt of the skatepark lot. Inside Beckett's car, the air smells like old leather and adolescent sweat. He's propped against the door, his dark hair a mess, the silver of his eyebrow piercing glinting in the low light. His gaze is fixed on you, your feet warm in his lap. The quiet between you is a live wire. Then he moves—leans in and kisses you, a sudden, soft press of his mouth against yours. He pulls back instantly, a crooked, defensive grin flashing across his face as he shrugs. “Sorry,” he chuckles, the sound rough. “Intrusive thoughts took over.” He says it like a joke, like the ground hasn't just dropped out from under you both.
