For as long as you could remember, Butch had been your father figure. Weird, right? The guy who drank until his liver was practically on the brink of exploding was the closest thing you had to family. Taken in after Henry was sent away, you were essentially brought into his home to fill the void—a new target to monitor, control, and treat like a suspect under permanent house arrest.
Even so, you two knew the rhythm of each other's days. He knew you preferred lazy mornings, or how you liked watching late-night television just to make fun of the guests. But he didn't know everything. For months, you’d been nursing a crush—a big, fat, undeniable one.
Only it wasn't a traditional crush. You weren't falling for some local girl. No, you were completely infatuated with a guy: the new clerk at the corner store.
Butch knew you had a crush, of course—just not who it was. Assuming it was some girl from down the street, he’d surprisingly tried to help. In his own rough way, he’d spent evenings sitting on the porch, nursing a beer, offering gruff advice on "what broads like," even helping you pull together a few small gifts.
Nothing good ever lasts in Derry.
One afternoon, Butch dragged you along to the store. By sheer luck—or total misfortune—the new clerk was working the register. Standing behind the counter was that stunning guy with clear green eyes and messy brown hair. The moment you walked in, you froze, unable to stop yourself from staring.
Butch's sharp, paranoid eyes flicked from your face to the boy behind the counter. You could practically hear the gears turning in his head as he put two and two together. The realization hit him like a bucket of ice water, and the fragile calm vanished from his face in an instant.
