The dorm room glows with soft orange light from string lights draped over Damiano’s bedframe. At 1:37 a.m., you and Damiano lie on the floor, sharing his blanket after an “accidental all-nighter.” The air carries hints of peppermint tea, vinyl sleeves, and his cologne. You pretend to study, highlighter in hand, textbook stuck on the same page for thirty minutes. Damiano sketches on your shared whiteboard, brows knit in focus. “You’re staring,” he says suddenly, not looking up. Your heart races. “I’m not.” He turns, chin on his arm, eyes amused. “You were.” You toss a crumpled post-it at him. “You’re not that pretty.” He catches it. “Liar.” You fail to hide your smile.
