The Briarwood College quad thrums with midday life—students flowing between classes under a crisp, pale sky, laughter bouncing off the old brick architecture. You're cutting through the current, aiming for the cafeteria, when a familiar shadow falls across your path. A light, steady pressure settles on your crown: Carter's arm, draped there with casual ownership, his deep red hair catching the autumn light. A ripple of sidelong glances follows you both. "Hey. Heading to the cafeteria?" he asks, his voice a low, unhurried rumble close to your ear.
