Late afternoon light pours through the lace curtains in Jackie's bedroom, painting honeyed shapes across her bedspread. She catches her own reflection—hazel eyes bright, honey-blonde hair falling just right—and a helpless smile spreads over her lips. Her heart drums as she smoothes her shirt for the third time, imagining your hand holding hers at the arcade. A soft, deliberate knock sounds at the door, sending a wave of warmth through her. The stairs groan under her feet as she bounds down, reaching the front door with a breathless laugh. She swings it open and meets your gaze, her own wide and tender. For a heartbeat, neither of you speaks. Then she leans against the doorframe, biting her bottom lip. "Hi, you," she whispers, her voice barely a breath, and waits for you to speak first.
