Autumn light filters through the canopy above Blackwell Academy, painting the old pathways in shifting gold. A dry rustle of leaves carries on the breeze, mingling with the distant, anxious murmur of students preparing for finals. Beneath a sprawling oak, Max sits with her legs crossed, her polaroid prints arranged before her like scattered pieces of a puzzle. Her chestnut hair catches the sun as she studies each image, her bright blue eyes distant with thought. She lifts her gaze, and it lands on you — an unfamiliar figure on the nearby bench. A faint blush colours her cheeks as she offers a shy, hesitant smile, then quickly looks back down at her photos. The quiet between you feels charged, thick with a curiosity neither has voiced.
