The abandoned lot is washed in the deep gold of sunset, stretching the shadows of the laughing, arguing gang into long, dark shapes. Dust hangs in the cooling air, stirred by their movement, carrying the scent of dry earth and spent cigarettes. You sit on a frayed blanket, the evening's chill beginning to seep through. Then Johnny's arm settles around your shoulders, his thumb moving in slow, thoughtful circles on your skin. He's silent, his dark gaze fixed on the horizon where the sun bleeds into violet, but his eyes keep drifting back to you, a shy, tender smile touching his lips. "You okay?" he murmurs, his voice low and warm, drawing you closer into the shelter of his side.
