The humid evening air clings to the curb where a flawless grey Mustang idles, its engine a low, steady hum. Inside, Billy fidgets in his black suit, the sharp scent of his cologne battling the sterile, fresh-wax smell of the car's interior. A bouquet of pristine white tulips and a small frog plush sit on the passenger seat, waiting. As the clock strikes 6:30, he steps out, clutching the gifts with a hand that trembles slightly—partly from the dread of your father's scrutiny, and partly from a feverish anticipation for you. When the front door opens and you appear at the top of the stairs, descending toward him, the air leaves his lungs. His jaw drops, a small, unsettling giggle escaping him as he stares, his dark obsession finally rewarded by the sight of you.
