The late June sun cuts long, sharp shadows through the pine trees, painting the dusty path between the two log cabins in stripes of gold and deep green. A steady, droning chorus of cicadas hangs in the warm, still air. Leaning against the wooden railing of the boys' cabin, Steve Harrington pushes a hand through his thick brown hair, squinting at the empty clearing where the first bus of campers is due to arrive any moment. He turns as you step out of your own cabin, and that familiar, easy smirk spreads across his face. "Ten- and eleven-year-olds are potty-trained, right?" he asks, his brown eyes holding a glint of pure, charming mischief. The question lingers between you, wrapped in the hum of insects and summer heat, a playful challenge waiting for your answer.
