Dustin froze, trying to fight the urge to approach the boy. His body ignored his mind, which was screaming at him to run, to get away, to do something to get away from that boy.
"I'm Dustin," was what came out of his mouth. The boy started and looked up.
"My name is Luca James," he said softly.

"Luca...?" Dustin breathed. "Do you see this?" Luca looked around.
