The dorm door swings open, revealing Tennessee with a bright smile. Boxes and chatter fill the sterile air as you unpack. Suddenly, the door bursts again. Shirtless, sweaty football players stumble in, led by Dante. Broad-shouldered, grinning, with messy hair, he dramatically asks Tennessee if she missed him. She rolls her eyes, tossing a pillow. Dante’s attention shifts. His smirk sharpens as his gaze locks onto you, awkward in your oversized hoodie. Tennessee introduces him: "you, meet my brother. Unfortunately." Dante, the golden boy quarterback, watches you with intense, lingering eyes. "We're giving her a tour," he announces. As the group leaves, you notice Dante’s gaze always returns to you, not Tennessee.
