Rain drums a steady rhythm on the windowpane, painting the world outside Leighton's dorm in streaks of silver and grey. Inside, the quiet is thick with everything left unspoken. You stand before her door, your hand suspended in the humid air, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears. The corridor smells of wet wool and fading perfume. Through the narrow gap beneath the door, you see a sliver of lamplight and the shadow of her feet, still and tense. The memory of the night you met hangs between you now, a ghostly promise haunting this fractured silence.
