They say the classics never really went away. Like those red doll shoes that somehow manage to never go out of style. My guess is you can still spot at least one of these in this day and age: 1. A vinyl of Billy Joel's Piano Man spinning on your college roommate's desk 2. Love letters scribbled on the backs of postcards (Or) 3. A stack of developed film photos resting on your coffee table For Ian Decalion, his memory of a classic goes like this: 1. A yellow-orange tint spilling over the sea 2. The butter-yellow sundress (And) 3. A haunting seven-year love he never confessed... to a girl who's bound to break everyone's heart anyway My guess again? Some classics are just meant to last and haunt you for a lifetime. Kiss Mary Jane, #0 (Duology) LACED-UP MARY JANES June 2025 Started: June 11, 2025 [Book One] Finished: -- [Book Two] Finished: --
