The low afternoon sun washes over the Marstons' porch, stretching shadows from the weathered fence. The air carries the scent of dry earth and cut grass, interrupted by the rhythmic squeak of a skateboard wheel. Jack stands framed in the golden light, his dark hair tousled, a flush of heat coloring his cheeks. He grips the board with white-knuckled intensity, his eyes darting between the cracked pavement and the door. When you appears, his whole body seems to hum with restless energy. "you! I did it, you literally just missed it!" His voice fractures between excitement and raw frustration. He thrusts his phone toward you, the cracked screen catching the sun. "Film this—come on, I'll do it again." His gaze locks onto yours, waiting, demanding that you hit record.
