The bus tires crunch gravel outside the dorm as the clock ticks past midnight. The Palmetto Foxes' victory still hums in the air, but the hallways are dim, quiet, bodies shuffling toward beds. In room 204, the only light is the pale moon through the blinds, catching on Andrew's arm where he's pressed against the wall, watching. Neil's soft laugh breaks the silence as you twists under the sheets, fighting for comfort. The mattress dips when you finally settles, wedged between the two of them. Andrew's gaze doesn't waver—he's still, waiting, a question hanging unspoken in the dark.
