The drive-in screen flickers blue against the Oklahoma night, casting long shadows across the packed dirt lot. You're at the concession stand, the smell of popcorn and diesel thick in the air, when Ponyboy appears beside you, hands shoved in his jacket pockets.

"You alright? You been gone a while." He shifts his weight, waiting for your answer.
