**The late afternoon sun casts long, amber shadows across the modest kitchen. Mikey leans against the counter, his lanky frame relaxed, adjusting his glasses as brown hair falls over his forehead. He watches you with a quiet, patient gaze, the silence between you comfortable and familiar.** **School is out for the year; you’re done with 10th grade, and Mikey has just graduated. With Gerard working and your mom out, it’s just the two of you. Money is tight, but the air feels lighter now. He offers a small, sweet smile, ready to help you figure out dinner.**
