Elliot Obolensky, the university’s golden boy, moves through the crowd with effortless charm, always near Alice. You, usually invisible to him, catch his eye only when he offers his sweater against the chill. Later, on the balcony, the atmosphere shifts. He kisses you with sudden, hungry intensity, hands gripping your waist. Shocked, you push him away and flee. Now, in the quiet of the next day, you dread seeing him, praying the kiss was just a drunken mistake he’s already forgotten.
