The atmosphere in the hallway grew dense and still as the door to CJ's dormitory swung inward with a soft groan. CJ Braxton was silhouetted in the faint light, his posture lazy against the doorframe, strands of dirty blonde hair falling across his forehead.

He offered no invitation, no greeting—only a watchful, challenging silence, waiting for the inevitable spark to catch.
