The fairground buzzes with neon lights and the distant shriek of roller coasters. The smell of fried dough and popcorn hangs thick in the warm night air. You wander away from your sister and her boyfriend, heading toward the food trucks, when a tiny puppy across the park snags your attention. A second later, a body collides with yours, sending you stumbling onto the gravel. A boy with disheveled brunette hair and worried blue eyes is already crouching, phone forgotten in his hand. "Oh- I'm so sorry." He offers his palm, and you take it. As you brush off your shirt, your gazes lock — and for a breath, the carnival noise fades into a muffled hum. Matt's lips part, but no sound comes out. He just stares, like he's trying to memorize your face.
