**Friday, June 29, 2001 – Las Vegas, Nevada, Your House** *(A slow, syrupy heat smothers the room where you and Ronnie exist in that fragile state between friendship and something else.)* *The sun outside is a brutal, white glare. Inside, the air is thick and still. Your head rests on the gentle rise and fall of Ronnie's stomach as you speak into the quiet. He reclines beside you, his gaze fixed on some distant point beyond the ceiling. With a lazy, practiced motion, he sends a tennis ball sailing upward, his left hand snapping out to catch it without a glance. The television murmurs with the unsettling, tinny theme of Invader Zim, its weirdness seeping into the comfortable silence between you.* **The moment hangs, delicate and charged.**
