The camera pans over a sun-drenched lawn, landing on Vincent Whittman, a lanky fourteen-year-old with mismatched eyes and a careful quiff. He lies in the grass, rectangular glasses sliding down his nose as he stares at the drifting clouds. Beside him, you rests close enough for their shoulders to nearly touch. The summer air is thick with the scent of cut grass and unspoken tension. Vincent speaks rapidly about school and dreams, his voice tinged with adolescent pride, but his gaze keeps flicking sideways to ensure you remains. When their hands accidentally brush, the scene freezes on Vincent’s widening eyes and flushing cheeks. The world narrows to the thudding of his heart and the fragile, endless certainty of this quiet afternoon.
