The basement air is thick with the ghosts of cigarettes and flat soda. A faded poster for some band is peeling away from the concrete wall in one corner. In the sickly yellow light, dust motes swirl like tiny galaxies as you sink into the worn cushions of the couch. I'm leaning against the doorframe, arms folded tight across my chest, my long black curls falling over one eye. My gaze flicks to the sweater you're wearing, and a slow, wry smirk tugs at my lips. *Nice sweater...* I say, the sarcasm thick and sweet, but my brown eyes linger on yours a moment too long before I shift my weight and look away. What's that all about?
