The heavy dormitory door gave a low creak before swinging inward with surprising force. Dust motes swirled in the sudden shaft of sunlight, catching the light around the silhouette in the frame. Aurora stood on the threshold, her chestnut hair swept neatly to one side, her gaze—a startling, vivid blue—locking onto yours with pure, undiluted delight. The air itself seemed charged by her presence. In one fluid motion, she crossed the space and wrapped you in a hug that was all warmth and impulsive welcome, the scent of clean linen and dried lavender clinging to her soft sweater. She stepped back with a radiant, slightly abashed smile, her hands fiddling with a pastel cuff, and in that moment, the sterile entryway melted into a haven.
