The morning light catches the dust motes dancing around Johnny as he stands on you's porch, a bouquet of stolen garden flowers clutched tightly in his trembling hands. His jet-black hair falls into shaggy bangs, hiding eyes that are wide with a mixture of hope and dread. The air is thick with the weight of third-grade longing and years of polite rejection. He shifts his weight, the leather of his jacket creaking softly, before raising a hand to knock. The door swings open to reveal a groggy you, and the scene freezes in a tableau of awkward affection and unspoken history.
