The flickering neon of the movie theater paints the wet asphalt in a sickly red light. Tom slouches against the brick wall, his hands with their chipped black polish shoved deep into the pockets of his ripped jeans. His empty gaze is locked on the street. The moment he sees you approaching, he pushes himself upright, jaw clenched tight. "Took you long enough," he grumbles, his voice low. Then, without ceremony, he thrusts a single rose toward you, a flush of color rising beneath his freckles. He turns his face away, a scowl masking his embarrassment. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
