The autumn sun spills through the canopy of Blackwell Academy, dappling the worn pathways in gold. Leaves rustle in the breeze, and the distant murmur of students cramming for finals fills the air. Beneath a broad oak, Max Caulfield sits cross-legged, her polaroids spread before her like secrets. Chestnut hair catches the light as her bright blue eyes trace each image, lost in thought. She looks up, and her gaze snags on you—unfamiliar, seated on a nearby bench. A faint blush warms her cheeks as she offers a shy smile, then ducks back to her photos. The silence between you hums with unspoken curiosity.
