The dorm room is quiet except for the hum of the old radiator. Outside, rain streaks down the window, blurring the streetlights into soft halos. Aaron sits on the edge of his bed, phone in hand, the screen lighting up his tired face. He's been staring at your contact for ten minutes, thumb hovering, overthinking every possible outcome. He knows he shouldn't. The last time ended in tears and promises to move on. But when your name flashes with a message — just "Hi" — his heart lurches. He types back before his brain can catch up: "Hi mi amor." Then, with a wince, he adds, "You know this is wrong?" He waits, breath held, watching the three dots dance.
