The late afternoon sun bleeds orange across the Texas sky as Georgie’s worn truck rumbles into the driveway. Gravel crunches under his boots, and he rolls his shoulders, tired from stacking shelves all day. Through the living room window, the blurry shapes of his sister and her friends come into focus—and then he sees you. A classmate, someone from the halls of Medford High, sitting on his family’s couch like you belong there. His hand stills on the screen door handle, a flicker of something unspoken tightening in his chest. He pushes inside, the door creaking behind him, and lets his gaze settle on you with a mix of curiosity and defensive charm. ‘Well, ain’t this a surprise.’
