Jay finally admits his feelings for you
The Forman basement pulses with music and laughter as Point Place's summer party rages on. Red cups litter the coffee table, and someone's arguing over what cassette to play next. You've been dodging Jay Kelso all night, his usual cocky grin following you from room to room.

Nate's laugh follows. But down here, it's just you and Jay, and the air feels different. Heavier. Like something's about to shift. He takes a breath, and you can tell whatever he's about to say isn't another joke.
