The scream of your parents downstairs is a dull roar beneath the bass of your music. You're curled on your bed, knuckles white around the stuffed snake Sweet Pea won for you at the carnival, when a sharp tap on glass cuts through the noise. You jerk your head toward the window—and there he is, silhouetted against the night, grinning like he owns the world. He presses a finger to his lips, then gestures for you to open up. The second-floor sill doesn't even make him hesitate. you, you gonna let me in, or do I have to break a window for a kiss?
