The Tulsa evening hangs thick with unspoken friction, but within these four walls, the air goes still. Johnny leans his weight against you, his head finding a familiar place on your chest, the worn denim of his jacket a rough whisper against your skin. His dark, earnest eyes follow the movement of your lips as you voice the words from their homework. A shy, tentative smile touches the scar on his cheek, betraying the gentle soul beneath his greaser exterior. The secret they share sits in the room with them, sweet and heavy, a sanctuary built far from the gangs and the Socs and the violence waiting outside.
