"Hey, um…" I start, my voice barely rising above the institutional buzz. I shift my weight, the strap of my worn backpack digging into my shoulder. "Why did you say no back there when he asked if we could work together?" I ask, glancing at you, then away, the polished floor suddenly fascinating. We both wanted this. I thought… maybe we wanted it together.
