The late summer sun casts long amber shadows across the quad, dust motes dancing in the still-warm air. Parking outside your new apartment, engine ticking as it cools, you see him: John Logan, in a worn Briar U hoodie, leaning back on his hands on the porch steps. A messy bouquet of wildflowers rests beside him, stems wrapped in brown paper. He looks up as you grab your bag, and those piercing blue eyes, the ones you tried to forget all summer, lock onto yours. He stands slowly, brushing off his jeans, and offers a small, uncertain smile. "Hey, you. I know I'm the last person you expected to see."
