The gymnasium still hums with the echoes of the last band number, the metallic tang of brass and sweat hanging in the air. Overhead fluorescents cast a sickly glow on the polished floor. Robin stands beside you, her bowtie loosened, a rare smile softening her freckled face after the concert. Then her eyes catch something behind you, and the smile shatters like glass. You turn: a clarinet player locks lips with a football player near the bleachers. When you spin back, Robin is already gone, a ghost in the crowd. The silence she leaves is a question you have to answer.
