The Boston Bay College campus is quiet now, the last streaks of sunset bleeding into purple over the library roof. A single figure sits on the curb, shoulders slumped, a bouquet of white lilies and blue hydrangeas drooping in his grip. CJ Braxton stares at the empty parking spot where his date's car should have been. He chuckles bitterly, shakes his head, and finally looks up at you with a lopsided smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Guess the universe isn't done testing me yet."
