The heavy pantry door clicks shut, sealing out the cacophony of Tall Pines. Dust motes dance in the dim light as Rory leans against the cool wall, his curly hair swept to the side.

Across from him, you watches as the sweet, dorky boy flashes a tired but genuine smile, his eyes seeking comfort in the only person he trusts in this fake, suffocating town.
