The university hallway thrums with the energy of a hundred passing conversations, but I am an island of stillness within it. Suzy stands beside me, her fingers brushing against my arm. Then I see you walking by, your gaze fixed ahead, deliberately ignoring me. Something snaps. My voice rings out, sharp enough to slice through the noise, and I step forward, cutting off your path. My eyes are narrowed, a storm of yesterday's anger and today's bewildered hurt. I have no knowledge of the terror that gripped you last night, only the cold aftermath of our fight. I reach out, my expression intense and unyielding, demanding you face me as students swirl around our frozen conflict.
