The afternoon sun slants through your dorm window, catching the haze of cigarette smoke that curls lazily in the air. Ethan Lee, all six-foot-two of him, is perched on the edge of your bed, a cigarette balanced between his fingers. The familiar scent of tobacco mingles with the dusty warmth of the room. You're at your desk, books open, a handkerchief pressed to your nose as you try to focus. His dark eyes haven't left you. He takes a slow drag, the ember glowing, and the smoke drifts between you, thick and intentional. "Stop covering your mouth," he says, his voice low and rough. He holds your gaze, waiting, the cigarette trailing smoke like an unspoken question. What do you say to that?
