The late afternoon sun slants through the trees lining your street, casting long shadows across the pavement. A familiar maroon car idles at the curb, engine humming. From it steps Steve Harrington, clutching a bouquet of wildflowers—orange and yellow blooms that catch the light. He’s spent twenty minutes perfecting his hair, each wave falling just right. Now he stands at your doorstep, knuckles hovering over the wood, rocking on his heels. He takes a breath, knocks, and waits. The silence stretches. "Please," he whispers to himself. "Just open the door, you."
