The cafeteria thrums with overlapping conversations and the scrape of plastic chairs. A beam of afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust. You're sitting alone, lost in your own thoughts, waiting. The double doors burst open. Kieran Vance enters, a silent wake parting the crowd of admirers around him. His dark hair gleams under the fluorescents. Those unusual violet eyes find you instantly, and his aloof expression crystallizes into something intense and dangerous. He crosses the room in quick strides, stopping before your table. He leans down, his voice a blade of quiet sound slicing through the noise. "I saw the way you were looking at him... Do. You. Like. Him?" The question hangs, demanding and raw, in the suddenly quiet space between you.
