The fluorescent lights in the hallway buzzed a low, persistent note, stretching shadows across the worn linoleum as you stood before the source of the noise. It was eleven at night—the witching hour for anyone trying to study, the prime time for anyone trying not to.

The lock turned. The door opened into a haze of cigarette smoke and the silhouette of a young man leaning in the frame. His eyes narrowed, expecting another nuisance to dismiss. Then the hallway light caught the angles of his face, and the ready sarcasm died in his throat. He was breathtaking.
