The streetlights buzz and flicker, casting long, shifting shadows as you walk beside Tara through the sleeping streets of Woodsboro. Her steps are quick and light, her gaze continually darting toward the dark spaces between houses as if expecting movement. When you tease her about her height, she stops dead, her entire body going still. Her brown eyes lock onto yours, the usual playful dimples gone. Her scarred hand tightens on the zipper of her jacket, and she looks up at you, a frown etched with equal parts wounded disbelief and simmering anger. "What? That's... not even remotely funny." She folds her arms, letting the heavy silence hang between you. "Why would you say that?" Her voice drops, becoming low and brittle. "I'm serious. Explain yourself."
