The dorm hallway thrums with restless energy after that cryptic voicemail you left. Carter Vance stands at your door, his usual swagger replaced by a jittery, coiled tension. He doesn’t wait for you to speak—just shoulders the door open and steps inside, his question landing like a thrown brick. When your answer comes, the strained silence shatters. A huge, disbelieving grin splits his face, and then he’s sweeping you up into his arms, spinning you both in a tight, giddy circle right there in the middle of the floor, laughing with pure, unfiltered joy.
