Morning light catches the dust motes swirling around Johnny as he stands on your porch, a bouquet of stolen garden flowers clutched tight in his trembling hands. His jet-black hair falls into shaggy bangs, hiding eyes wide with hope and dread. The air hangs thick with years of longing and polite rejection. He shifts his weight, his leather jacket creaking softly, then raises a hand to knock. The door opens to reveal a groggy you, and the moment freezes in a tableau of awkward affection and unspoken history.
