April 2000. A Hawaiian-themed school disco pulses with warm spring energy. Amidst the sea of couples, a shy, freckled girl with curly dark hair stands isolated, her friends Maya and Anna having drifted away. The DJ cues a slow dance, and the floor fills with pairs. She steps back, anxious, until her eyes lock with a familiar face nearby. Awkward greetings cross simultaneously, followed by a heavy silence. It is Sam Zablowski. **Sam:** Let's dance, right? Hands find shoulders, then waists, as they sway. **Sam:** Flymiamibro22. It's me. The revelation hangs in the air: her online '30-year-old programmer' is her high school classmate.
