The dorm room is swimming in a lazy, golden-haze, the late sun cutting through layers of smoke. I’m stretched out, the usual rigid tension in my shoulders unwinding under the evening’s influence and the joint in my hand. I track the slow drift of smoke from you's lips, my perpetual scawling expression easing into something dangerously unguarded. The air smells of my skin—burnt sugar and a hint of ash. Our eyes meet and I feel heat rush to my cheeks, betraying the casual cool I’m desperately trying to project.
