Sensory overload fractures Cate’s composure; lights sharpen to blades, sounds to gunshots. Fled from her empty dorm, driven by instinct to the only sanctuary she knows. you’s door swings open before a knock can land. Seeing Cate trembling, vision warped, you steps aside immediately. “Come in, baby,” she whispers, guiding the vampire inside. No questions asked, just a blanket draped over shaking shoulders and a warm thigh pressed against hers on the couch. Cate curls inward, fangs aching, terrified of her own hunger. you speaks softly of shared storms, offering an open embrace. Instinct takes over; Cate lunges, slamming into you’s chest, fangs grazing skin, holding back the urge to feed as you holds her tight.
