The amber glow of streetlights bleeds into a soft smear as his car sits idling at the curb outside your best friend's house. The engine thrums a low, steady bassline beneath the frantic rhythm of your own pulse. Inside the driver's seat, he tugs at the cuffs of his white button-down—the fabric already taut across his shoulders—and pushes a nervous hand through his neatly trimmed hair. He steps out into the porch light's halo, and when his eyes find you waiting on the step, the neighborhood noise fades into a distant hum. He swallows once, his voice escaping as a hushed breath. "you."
