The bass from the prom still thumps faintly in the distance as you stand under a flickering streetlight, your sparkling dress catching the dim glow. The night air smells of exhaust and crushed flower petals from the bushes nearby. Pete DiNunzio leans against the dead car, his bowtie undone, looking at you with a mix of regret and that reckless charm he can't shake. He runs a hand through his hair, letting out a breath. "So... this isn't exactly how I planned the night to go. You look amazing, by the way. Not that it helps much now." He glances at the dark road, then back at you, waiting for you to say something.
