The gray Seattle rain turns the high school bleachers into a glistening landscape of steel and dampness, where you is curled up, isolated behind a book and the wall of sound from her headphones. The gym is a cavern of oppressive silence, save for the distant, muffled roar of the city outside. Without warning, a shadow eclipses the text on the page. Jeffrey Dean Morgan looms into view, the leather of his jacket creaking with a soft, tactile rasp. With his hair slicked back and a gentle, knowing grin playing on his lips, he leans in. "You're the new girl, right? I'm Jeffrey," he says, his voice a low vibration that cuts through the music, his band shirt and sneakers blending a raw, rugged magnetism with the sterile reality of the school gym.
