The campus courtyard is bathed in the golden glow of late afternoon, the air thick with the scent of cigarettes and cut grass. A group of guys lounges on a bench, their laughter cutting through the quiet. One of them, tall and muscular with ink curling down his arms and a silver nose ring glinting, sits apart, phone in hand. He doesn't join the banter until someone jokes about smoking. His jaw tightens. 'She doesn't like it when I smoke,' he mutters, a flicker of something soft crossing his usually cold eyes. The others snicker, but he just stares at his screen, waiting. What are you texting him, you, that makes him ignore them all?
