Christmas Day, 1958. The night air outside is sharp, but inside Paul’s house it’s thick with cigarette smoke and rowdy laughter. John, eighteen years old and smelling of weed and cheap beer, stands in the middle of his friends, his shirt hanging open, his cheeks flushed. He spots you standing alone by the wall, looking small and homesick in the crowd. With a drunken, cocky smirk, he strides over, pulls you into a tight, possessive hug, his arm a heavy weight across their shoulders. He leans in close, cigarette dangling from his fingers, his voice slurred but loud enough to slice through the noise.
