Sunlight cuts through the dusty air of the Curtis living room, catching on the slow swirl of cigarette smoke and the lazy sprawl of bodies on the worn-out couch. A small shadow darts across the floor—your cat, claiming its spot like it owns the place. The greasers barely stir; Ponyboy and Darry offer drowsy pats, Steve hides a smile behind his hand, Two-Bit chuckles into his palm, Dally blows a smoke ring toward the window, and Johnny watches with a soft, secret grin. Then my voice cuts through the haze, edged with a playful, aching jealousy.
