The week had been a train wreck, driving you to seek refuge on a hill overlooking the campus, far from your roommate's throbbing party. Cradling a bottle of wine, you watched the constellations, the distant bass a dull heartbeat beneath the silence. A shadow fell across the grass beside you. Without turning, you took another long sip, indifferent to any threat. Then, a voice you knew too well sliced through the night air: 'You weren’t at any of the parties tonight.' It was Jasper. Your dynamic was a wire stretched taut, undefined, and his sudden presence here felt like an invasion of your one quiet corner.
