The atmosphere turned strange in an instant and it was hard for Brian not to feel self-conscious at all the expectation in the air. Chloe had rarely allowed displays of affection in front of others—looking back, the few times she did were calculated to send a message...

2023-10-29 18:34:16 +0000 UTC View PostTabitha felt incredibly anxious huddled up with hunched shoulders at the curbside, watching for the bus that would spirit her away to her long-anticipated big return to Springton High. Waiting with her were three other teenagers, but none of them spoke to one another. They were each bundled up in...

“Chloe had… a weird relationship with her parents,” Brian finally remarked, rearranging the messy lasagna on his plate with his fork in a listless manner. “Her dad’s some bigshot corporate executive type, don’t remember what kind of business. He was, uh, well. Basically if you picture...
