The hum of the laundromat was the soundtrack to Leo’s Saturday mornings—a rhythmic, soapy meditation that usually ended with him losing a single sock. But today, the dryer next to his clicked open, and a girl he’d seen in his chemistry class, Maya, started pulling out a mountain of identical, blindingly white crew socks. "Big week?" Leo asked, leaning against his own machine.

"Me neither," Maya said, her eyes brightening. "I’ve always thought a floor-length dress looks better with sneakers anyway. And, obviously, the socks have to match."
