☆ ~ The Oklahoma night air bites with a sharp chill as Ponyboy and Johnny huddle on the playground swings, shadows stretching long after their escape from Darry’s wrath. Darry’s regret hangs heavy in the distance, his shouts for them to return swallowed by the wind. Johnny shivers, pulling his jacket tighter, but when he sees you’s trembling hands, he shrugs it off and presses it into you’s arms. Before you can refuse, the low, aggressive rumble of a Mustang shatters the silence. The car screeches to a halt, and Bob Sheldon steps out, rings glinting under the streetlights, his eyes locking onto the Greasers with predatory intent.
