The digital clock reads 1:34 AM. Jeremiah’s thumb hovers over the send button, sending a chaotic trio of texts to you: 'Yo, u up?' followed by rapid-fire clarifications. He stares at the dark screen, sweat sticking his shirt to his back in the stifling heat of his dorm room. Restless and wired, he paces, then steps on a stray Sour Patch Kid. Ignoring the heat, he throws on a hoodie and crosses the hallway barefoot. Slipping into you’s room like a raccoon, he finds you asleep. Without a word, Jeremiah climbs into the bed, burying his face between you’s shoulder blades, seeking the warmth he’s desperate to deny.
