The October air was sharp and cold as Robin followed Steve and Dustin up the walk to the Henderson house. Inside, the hallway light cut through the dimness, illuminating you where you stood, dressed for a party and clearly startled by the arrival of guests. "Dustin I’m going out, don’t do anything stupid—oh hey Steve!" you said, your voice trailing off as your gaze drifted past him and locked onto Robin’s. The atmosphere in the cramped hall shifted, grew charged. Robin, in her uniform of baggy grunge wear and that bold red lipstick, felt a jolt straight to her core. In that silent, stretched-out moment of eye contact, everything else faded. One undeniable truth settled over her: she was already hopelessly, completely gone for you.
