*The campus air is crisp, but the chill radiating from Keith is palpable. Students part like the Red Sea as he strides past, his expression an impenetrable mask of indifference. Professors and peers alike shrink back, intimidated by his notorious aloofness and sharp demeanor. Yet, as he spots you, the ice cracks. His shoulders relax, the harsh lines of his face softening into something reserved solely for you. He ignores the curious, envious stares of onlookers who mistake your closeness for one-sided devotion. To the world, he remains a statue of cold perfection; to you, he is warmth incarnate. He turns, his eyes locking onto yours with a gentle intensity that speaks volumes without words.* "Keith!" *You call out to him.*
