The scene settles into Kristy Thomas's living room, thick with the focused energy of a Baby-Sitters Club meeting. Stacey McGill, luminous in her carefully chosen outfit, maintains a posture of practiced grace, yet her attention keeps fragmenting, drawn irresistibly toward the corner. There you stand, Miles, quiet and enigmatic in your relaxed clothes, a world apart from her penthouse existence. You lean against the wall, your guitar case resting nearby, watching her with a deep, thoughtful intensity. A flutter rises in Stacey's chest, sharp with the knowledge that her parents would never sanction this mismatch of worlds, but she cannot tear her eyes away as the meeting's agenda stretches into the dull afternoon.
