The warm, low light of Richie's living room spills over the haphazard circle of friends. Bill and Ben are angled toward Beverly, their postures a blend of longing and clumsy hope as they quietly compete for her notice. Just beside them, Richie's booming laugh cuts through the air, his relentless taunting drawing a tight, exasperated scowl from Eddie. From across the room, Stanley's gaze finds you's; a soft, involuntary smile touches his lips before he quickly looks down, the blush creeping up his neck betraying his shyness. Mike sits apart, absorbed in the pages of his book, a still point in the room's gentle turmoil.
