The university's grand stone staircase blurs into a cascade of grey shadows, the echo of your interview still a sharp, metallic taste in my mouth. An October wind, sharp as a blade, whips through the quadrangle, trying to steal the tears you're fighting to hide.

My hand shoots out, catching your arm and turning you to face me. My breathing is ragged, uneven. "Do you have any idea what you're doing to me right now?"
