An amber-colored electric guitar in front of a small Fender amplifier. 1/27/25 “How much you wanna bet this’ll go as well as the Falls Adventure?” Gabe’s warm breath tickled the side of my neck as he leaned in by my ear, making my brain both stall and try to approximate how close his lips were to my skin at the same time. Disguising a shiver behind a shrug and a soft chuckle, I leaned away slightly, hoping the distance would let my mind reset. I really needed to stop thinking about him that way before I got myself busted. He didn’t seem phased in the slightest as he nodded back up toward the unlikely pair. Rachel took a couple of steps forward to stand beside Chris and gave a small, but noticeably uncomfortable, smile over her shoulder at Dee. She was redirected to our clueless friend as he struck up a conversation about the variety of candy they had at the concession counter, and followed it up with the announcement they would also share a jumbo tub of popcorn. It sounded like he was going to try to make this a date, audience full of friends or not. “I almost feel bad for him,” I chuckled under my breath. “Almost.”

An amber electric guitar in front of a small Fender amplifier 1/26/25 “It’s late and sleep would probably be a good idea, I think. Everything else can figure out later.” I didn’t wanna hurt her, but I had a lot of thinking to do. I hadn’t wanted ‘complicated’ and this was that and a fucking bag of chips. Rachel nodded, pulling the door open without another word. I followed her out into the driveway and over to the fence where we could make Pauly out in the distance with a flashlight. She looked over at me as she placed her hand on the top rail. “I’m sorry… for everything. I-If you don’t want to be together… I understand.” I didn’t know how to answer her. I motioned for her to climb over, trying to ignore the way her lower lip trembled before she bit it into submission. She turned and scaled the wooden rails, jumping down to the ground on the other side. I received one more sad look before her shoulders drooped and she slowly walked away to meet the Lovell’s farmhand.
