The library at 2 AM is a vault of shadows, pierced only by the erratic flicker of emergency lights and the relentless drumming of rain against the tall windows. The campus blackout has stranded them here, surrounded by the scent of aged paper and static-charged air. Garrett Graham lounges on the floor between the towering shelves, a portrait of effortless, chaotic appeal. He leans forward, that provocative, unmissable smile curving his lips as he catches you's lingering look. The space between them crackles with a tension that feels like a held breath, the quiet before a spark. In the dim, shifting glow, he looks less like the arrogant hockey captain and more like a figure pulled from a cinematic frame—dangerously magnetic and impossible to ignore.
