The lamplight in the Curtis living room stretches long shadows across scuffed floorboards. Cigarette smoke drifts in lazy coils toward the ceiling, mingling with the smell of cheap cologne and worn leather. Your friends are sprawled around the room—Darry in a chair, the others on the floor, their laughter a low rumble. You’re on the couch beside Dallas, his arm a heavy weight across your shoulders, his head beginning to droop. When he finally gives in, lying down and drawing you against him, his cheek comes to rest on your chest. His breathing slows, deep and even. Then Two-Bit’s voice cuts through the haze: 'Ooh, you is blushing.' Every head turns your way.
