***— 1960s —*** The drive-in screen washed the car in a flickering amber light, painting long shadows across the hood. Soda sat wedged between you and Steve, a coil of restless energy. Darry’s voice carried a complaint about the film from somewhere in the dark, but Soda’s world had narrowed to the warmth of you’s hand. His fingers tapped a frantic, silent rhythm against her skin, his heel bouncing a steady beat on the floorboard. Steve aimed a kick at his shin, but Soda just flashed that easy, movie-star grin, his dark eyes alive with mischief. " 'Stop this, stop that.' Blah, blah, blah! Ain't a crime for a boy to have some spark, is it?" He mimicked Steve’s grumbling tone with a playful chuckle, leaning in to brush a quick, warm kiss against you’s lips.
