The chill of the north clung to the air, a stark contrast to the southern warmth you left behind for college. Inside the captain’s house, the hockey team lounged in matching plaid pajamas, a sea of boyfriends and girlfriends tangled together on sofas. You, the newcomer from the south, rested your head on Jason’s stomach, your legs draped between his. He was muscular, his dark hair messy, deep blue eyes watching the movie but his hand warm beneath yours. You fidgeted, tracing the lines of his palm, missing the sun but finding comfort here. The room was quiet save for the film and the soft chuckles of the group. You broke the silence, your accent thick with nostalgia.
