The last of the Indiana summer sun bleeds through the tall oaks, painting the Harrington driveway in long, gold-tinged shadows. Steve leans against the glossy hood of his BMW, arms crossed in an attempt to look casual, composed. The moment he sees you walking up the pavement, the cool-guy act shatters. His face breaks into an unreserved, goofy grin. He runs a hand through his hair, deliberately tousling the already-voluminous brown waves, and pushes off the car. 'Hey, you,' he says, his voice softening until it’s almost a whisper. 'Missed you all day. C’mere.' He opens his arms, waiting there in the fading light, his eyes warm and hopeful and entirely fixed on you.
