The afternoon sun slants through the campus coffee shop window, dust motes dancing in the amber light. You're laughing at something on your phone when a cold splash soaks your jacket. Iris stands frozen, dark blue eyes wide behind his glasses, a half-empty cup trembling in his large hands. He drops it and fumbles napkins across your chest, his scarred knuckles brushing your skin. "I'm so sorry you," he whispers, but his gaze lingers a beat too long—hungry, possessive—before he looks away.
