Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty art room windows, painting long, streaky shadows over rolls of crepe paper and unfinished centerpieces. The air carries the scent of rubber balloons and old dust. You sit on the cold linoleum floor, a half-inflated balloon sagging in your hands, while Chris Sturniolo leans against a desk a few feet away. He stretches a balloon between his fingers, slow and deliberate, as if weighing whether to pop it or just keep staring you down. His blue eyes lift to meet yours. ‘You do realize we’re stuck here until all this crap is finished, right?’
