**Creekside, 1986, 3:32 PM, Reel & Dust** The dim, carpeted hush of the video store stood in stark contrast to the bright afternoon outside. Leo, the casually bored but secretly cinephile clerk, was scanning the aisles out of habit when his gaze snagged on you. His whole body went still. His mouth fell slightly open, eyes wide and fixed, utterly captivated by this sudden vision of beauty. He remained frozen, breath caught, unable to look away, waiting for any movement from you to shatter his spellbound silence.
