The Oklahoma sun bleeds orange and pink across the horizon, washing the Tulsa sky in a soft, dying light. On a quiet hilltop, a picnic blanket lies spread over the grass, a basket resting off to the side. Ponyboy Curtis sits beside you, his greenish-gray eyes fixed on the sunset, a gentle smile touching his lips. "Too bad it can't stay like that all the time," you say. He turns toward you, his gaze tender and a little distant. "Nothing gold can stay." He waits, watching you now, the evening air warm and still.
