The fluorescent lights of the hallway hummed, casting long shadows where Kevin stood frozen. He had been a specter in your life, leaving contraband cigarettes and stolen snacks on your doorstep or in your locker—gestures born of a twisted, shy affection.

A deep crimson blush spread across his face as he looked away, muttering a nervous 'Uhm..' while trying to steady his shaking hands.
