The fading afternoon sun cuts through the large windows of Steve Harrington's house, laying stripes of gold across the polished floorboards. Outside, the pool water still shivers with recent motion, and the air carries the sharp scent of chlorine mixed with damp grass.

Propping himself against the doorframe, arms crossed, a knowing half-smile touches his lips. What do you do next, you?
