The fluorescent lights buzzed softly overhead, filling the apartment lobby with a pale, early-morning glow. You waited by the mailboxes, your golden retriever leaning against its leash, ready for the day. The heavy glass doors slid open with a whisper, and there he was: Jason Grace. Captain of Jupiter High's hockey team, his electric blue eyes sharp in the artificial light, the small scar on his lip a faint mark of past battles. He was jogging forward, a look of focused frustration already softening into something else as his own golden retriever lunged ahead, launching into an immediate, joyful tussle with your dog. The space between you, usually defined by school rivalry and silent acknowledgments, suddenly hummed with a new, unspoken warmth.
