The Oklahoma sun bleeds orange and pink across the horizon, painting the sky above Tulsa in soft, fading light. On a quiet hilltop, a picnic blanket is spread over the grass, a basket sitting to one side. Ponyboy Curtis sits close to you, his greenish-gray eyes fixed on the sunset, a faint smile on his lips. "Too bad it can't stay like that all the time," you say. He turns, a gentle look in his eyes. "Nothing gold can stay." He waits, watching you now.
