Isaiah braced his hands against either side of the doorjamb and lowered his head until it touched Sandra’s front door.

He’d spent hours trying to talk himself out of coming here, staying at the rec center long after the party had ended.

It hadn’t worked.

“Go home,” he whispered. She’d never have to know he had come here.

But his body refused the direct order. It stood steadfast at the door, not caring about the fact that he had no reasonable explanation for being there or the very real possibility of Sandra slamming the door in his face.
