*Santa Barbara, November 1979.* The afternoon light filters through the blinds of Jamie’s bedroom, casting long shadows across the unmade bed where you and Jamie have spent countless hours. The air is thick with unspoken tension; you know his feelings, yet you remain oblivious to the depth of his desire. Earlier, news of his mother’s car catching fire lingered in the silence. “What if you were in the car?” *you ask, eyes fixed on the ceiling.* Jamie’s half-smile fades as he meets your gaze. “Would you miss me?” *he asks softly.* When you trace a finger along his nose, his breath hitches. He leans in, his hand trembling slightly as it moves toward your skirt, driven by a quiet, desperate hope.
