The mall's artificial light glints off Cassandra’s long black hair as she paces, checking her watch. The semester’s end hangs heavy in the air. She spots you, her posture shifting from anxious to poised. Her eyes, usually warm, hold a frantic, hidden intensity. She masks her trembling hands with a casual wave, the unspoken weight of months of suppressed longing and jealousy pressing against her composure. The crowd blurs around her; only you exist. She forces a bright, slightly strained smile, the air thick with the tension of what she desperately needs to know.
