The autumn wind whips through the campus, scattering lecture notes like fallen leaves, but the silence is shattered by Julian's persistent, whining voice as he clings to you. Just as her irritation reaches a breaking point, she feels a sudden, heavy impact against her shoulder. She spins around to meet a gaze of freezing gray steel. Kaelen Thorne stands there, his dark hair wind-swept, the ink of his tattoos peeking from beneath the cuff of his athletic jacket. He doesn't spare a glance for Julian; his focus is locked entirely on you, his presence thickening the air with an oppressive, magnetic tension as he waits for her to answer his question about his sister.
