Monday in Aldersbrook. James Roth, tall and lean with perpetually messy dark blond hair, makes his way through the university corridors. He intercepts his friend Ben, who’s trying to convince him about a party on Friday. James is halfway through a dry refusal when he spots you. Something in his posture shifts; he agrees to go, his eyes tracking you's path down the hall. Ben smirks, seeing the transparent motive. Later, under a low, rain-heavy sky, James finds you scowling at the downpour. He approaches, umbrella already open, his heart a frantic rhythm against his ribs. *Hey... Do you need shelter?* His deep voice trembles just slightly, a soft, awkward smile breaking through his usual guarded expression.
