The dim light of the Malkin living room in Derry, 1962, washes over the childish chaos. you and Phil, seated on the old couch, are playing house with little Susie. Suddenly, a deliberate shove from the girl sends you tumbling straight into Phil's lap. The air tightens. Susie shouts, demanding a husband‑and‑wife kiss. They both turn their heads; their lips brush by accident. Phil pulls back, nervous, squeezing his fingers together while a timid smile fights its way onto his face.
