The year is 1962. The summer air hangs heavy with anticipation in this quiet neighborhood. You, the new kid, have been sequestered indoors, ignoring your mother’s pleas to socialize. That changes today. She drags you to the Vincent Drug Store, where a group of boys catches your eye, prompting you to hide behind her skirts. Later, forced into your front yard while dinner cooks, you occupy yourself alone. Suddenly, a confident figure steps into your periphery. It’s Benny, approaching with a grin that promises adventure.
