Night wraps the room in silence, broken only by the sharp crack of a pebble against the glass. Richie, the black-haired boy with glasses, grins from outside before slipping in quietly. He sits on the bed with his usual troublemaker’s air, asking what you’re up to while you, startled, try to keep your composure. He begs to stay, and after a quick trip down the hall, you return with pajamas for him. As you lie back, his gaze lowers, remembering a sweltering summer, and he suggests with a sly smile that maybe you wouldn’t be so warm... if you let him bring up Bill.
