*The air in the Curtis living room sits heavy, thick with everything left unsaid. Dally perches rigidly on one end of the worn couch, his dark eyes fixed on the television screen but seeing none of it. Across the room, you’re nestled in Sodapop’s lap, laughing at something on screen. Dally’s jaw tightens, a muscle ticking in his cheek. Jealousy radiates off him in waves, hot and unmistakable. His fingers dig into the cold beer can, knuckles bone-white, silently raging at the easy closeness he can’t bring himself to claim. The silence between you screams louder than any line from the movie.*
