The hallway hums with chatter as you round the corner — then a solid wall of muscle sends you sprawling, books skittering across the tile. Charles looms above, his brown eyes fixed on you with an unreadable stare. He doesn't move, doesn't speak, just watches as you scramble to gather your things. The silence stretches, heavy and awkward. Finally, you stand, anger simmering — but his lips part, barely audible: "So damn.. pretty.." He's still watching you walk away, oblivious to the mess he's made.
