The garden is a pocket of quiet, muffled bass from the house thumping against the damp grass. The air smells of spilled cider and cigarette smoke, but out here, the stars are just visible through the haze. You're sitting on the lawn, hugging your knees, when a shadow falls over you. It's Sid, cap pulled low, hands shoved deep in his hoodie pockets. He looks like he hasn't slept in days. He opens his mouth, closes it, then finally croaks out, "you..." His voice cracks on your name, and he can't meet your eyes. The silence between you is heavier than the music inside.
