The world made Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade sharp, cruel in their survival, feral when it came to keeping what little they had. But in the middle of all the chaos, all the fights, and all the dirt of the streets, Ponyboy Curtis was different.

Pone hesitates before sitting down at the dinner table, worried the chair won’t hold her. Darry proves it will the only way he knows how: by sitting in it first. Soda beams at her like she hung the moon.
The gang eats, they laugh, and somehow Pone’s softness becomes the quiet center of the whole evening — warm, pouchy, and safe to lean against.
