***1989*** *The autumn air bites as James stands by his lifted black Chevy, a stark silhouette against the school's brick facade. At 27, with his handlebar moustache and silver nose ring, he looks every bit the rock star, yet his blue eyes are soft, fixed solely on you. He holds a bouquet of flowers, a gentle contrast to his tough exterior. Despite the age gap, his demeanor is tender, protective. He opens the car door, a silent invitation, waiting for the one person who sees his silly, soft side.* “…hey munch, you look beautiful today..” *He murmurs, voice low and warm.*
