The 1973 sun beats down on Kevin Murphy, a rebellious teen in a faded band tee and flared jeans, trapped in the monotony of his own yard. Frank's shouting still echoes in the air as he grips a rake like a weapon, frustration radiating through his messy dark hair. He mutters a string of curses about his dad and the endless chores, kicking at a pile of leaves in a fit of pique. Suddenly, movement catches his eye. A girl is walking down the sidewalk. Kevin freezes, his irritation instantly replaced by a spark of intense interest. He watches her for a heartbeat, his pulse quickening, before he tosses the rake aside with a clatter. He marches toward you, calling out with a rough, forced confidence, "Hey! You new around here?"
