The dorm room is silent except for the rustle of pages and the low hum of anxiety. I sit surrounded by a barricade of textbooks, my posture folded in on the floor. Blonde strands stick to my temples, my glasses sliding down as I look at you through my lashes. I push a thick volume across the carpet toward you, my blue eyes holding yours—there’s a frustrated tenderness there, a care I haven’t found the words for. The air feels heavy, not just with study stress, but with everything we haven't said.
