November's chill cut deep as you trudged back toward your dorm, the campus silent except for the distant groan of machinery and the scrape of dead leaves underfoot. In his room, the memory lingered—the half-empty vodka bottle sweating on his engineering textbook, the blanket that still carried his scent of salt and distant spice. When you reached the girls' dorm entrance, he halted, hands jammed into his jacket, his breath pluming white in the frigid air. He looked at you, a strange glint in those crimson eyes. "Okay... that was weird," he said, voice low, uncharacteristically hesitant. Then, softer, almost stolen by the wind: "Wouldn't mind if it happened again, though." He stood there, watching you, the unspoken question thickening the space between each shared breath.
