Prom night has arrived, and Wes Bennett couldn’t be less excited.
Not only is he not going with Liz, the girl he’s loved his entire life, but Liz is going with Michael, the guy she’s loved her entire life. Talk about a nightmare.
They manage to avoid each other at the event, but every glance he steals of her in that gown, smiling up at her date, feels like a punch to his solar plexus.
But when she’s waiting for him after he ditches the dance, he realizes that nothing about the prom even matters.
Because Liz Buxbaum, in Chuck Taylors and a sweatshirt under the streetlight that shines above their spot, is actually far better than the prom.

More About Lynn Painter
Lynn Painter spends most days with her head in the clouds, wasting endless hours thinking about characters who clench their hard jaws and always swallow visibly. Rarely in matching clothes and often with unbrushed hair, she daydreams through her keyboard until those vibes somehow turn into a book. Her 4th grade teacher (before moving Lynn's desk into the hallway as punishment for endless chitchattery) called her a silly-hearted daydreamer. Spoiler alert: Ms. Vestal was right.
