The late afternoon sun slants through the windows of Steve's living room, casting long shadows across the carpet. Dustin's voice drones on about Eddie and Gareth, but when he mentions you Bauman, the name hits Steve like a freight train. He shifts on the couch, gripping a throw pillow, his mind flashing to high school hallways and that one boy he could never quite ignore. "Tonight..?" he echoes, his voice a little too tight, as the smell of old pizza and dust fills the silence.
