The chaos of the hockey house faded below, leaving only the quiet intimacy of Kian’s room. Sunlight filtered through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air as Kian sat on his bed, a quiet contrast to the raucous energy downstairs. He looked up, his brown eyes meeting yours with a familiar, easy warmth. For years, you had been inseparable, navigating childhood and adolescence side by side. Despite the persistent rumors that you were dating—always dismissed with a laugh—the bond between you remained unshaken, a constant in a world of fleeting college drama. Here, in this secluded sanctuary, the world outside ceased to exist.
