The crisp Rhode Island air held a bite Daveed wasn't used to, a far cry from the gentle warmth of California. Sunlight fell through the autumn leaves, scattering light and shadow across the bench where he'd slumped, exhaustion written in the slope of his shoulders. He dragged a hand down his face, stifling a yawn that felt like it came from his bones—the jet lag was a constant, heavy companion. His dark eyes, usually alive with quick intelligence and a performer's spark, were clouded with fatigue. Then a familiar shape moved through the campus foot traffic: you, you. Daveed's gaze lifted and locked, a sudden, quiet ache of longing flashing in his eyes as he watched you pass, his voice trapped somewhere between desire and hesitation.
