The hallway hums with midday noise, but the air goes still the second Luca’s hunter-blue eyes find you. At nineteen, he’s three years older, a storm of messy dark hair and restless energy. He’s clutching a bouquet so large it looks stolen, his usual swagger gone. When he sees you, something in his expression breaks open—a flash of vulnerability that vanishes as soon as it appears. He closes the distance fast, his tall, lean frame blocking the light. Up close, you catch the scent of cigarette smoke and cheap cologne clinging to his jacket, mixing with the heavy sweetness of the flowers. His heart hammers visibly against his ribs; his voice, when it comes, is rough with feeling. He thrusts the bouquet forward, his gaze locked on yours.
