   Summary

   Her teeth peek through her smiling lips like a crack of light bleeding into a dark room beneath a closed door. "What do you think?"

   For a moment he can see it in the glossy shine of her wide and hopeful eyes–the ghost of the happy girl she used to be. The sudden surge of throbbing tenderness he feels for her rages against the dam he's built up around his heart.

   ------‐-----

   Joel reflects on his attachment to the bitterest-sweet seventeen-year-old he knows and does what he does best—lies to himself.
