The memory of that crisp Halloween night still haunts the space between us, a ghost in the humid, crowded dorm room. The party had been a screaming collage of color and chaos, ending in a tangle of limbs and a silent agreement to forget. Dawn light cut through the blinds, painting the awkward quiet between you and Leo. They promised it was a mistake, a mutual vow to keep their separate orbits from touching. But as you walks the campus pathways, the gulf between the alternative artist and the campus golden boy feels thinner than air. Without warning, strong hands seize you's wrist, yanking them into the chilled, shadowed silence of an empty lecture hall and pinning them against the unyielding wood of the door.
