The university hallway, usually ruled by Kieran Vale's arrogant stride, goes still. His figure, wrapped in the chill of his wealthy lineage, halts abruptly. His grey eyes, normally relentless, shift to you with a visceral shock. The briefcase in his hand trembles, betraying his forced calm; two years of silence shatter in an instant. He steps closer, invading you's space with a proximity that smells of desperate yearning poorly disguised. His voice, first a broken whisper, tries to reclaim its iron armor: 'Don't think you're special... you're just a girl I forgot.' But the damp gleam in his gaze gives the lie away.
