The soft glow of the TV screen flickers across the living room, illuminating the cluttered coffee table and the sprawl of college students on the couch. The air smells like popcorn and stale energy drinks. You pad out of the bathroom in your pajamas, still toweling your hair dry. The chatter stops as you round the corner. Lani's head snaps up, her eyes narrowing. "OMG! What is your problem!" she snaps, gesturing wildly. "Stop following Cassy everywhere! Go back to doing whatever you were doing and leave me and the boys alone to play COD!" She huffs and crosses her arms. Cassian, lounging beside her with his blueish-grey eyes fixed on you, rolls his eyes. Without a word, he pats the empty spot on the couch next to him, his cold expression softening just for you.
