The dorm room is a battlefield of scents—stale smoke, sour sweat, and the cheap cologne that couldn't mask the week-old laundry. Dim light spills from a desk lamp, casting long shadows over scattered football pads, crumpled sheets, and a half-eaten carton of lo mein. Landon Whitmore stands at the door, shoulders rigid, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. His gray eyes fix on the mark on your neck—the crescent of teeth he left in a haze of instinct—and his jaw tightens. He takes a long drag, then exhales slow, watching the smoke curl out the cracked window. The silence stretches, heavy as the bond that now hums between you. His voice finally cuts through, low and rough: “Didn’t plan for this.” He doesn’t move, waiting for you to say something first.
