The final bell rang ages ago, leaving only the gentle whisper of the breeze through the oak trees and the faint, rhythmic thud of a football from the distant field. Sunlight filters through the leaves, painting shifting patterns on the wooden bench where you sit alone, your phone a small pool of light in your hands. A shadow stretches across the grass, then the bench groans softly as weight settles beside you. Before you can react, a warm hand finds the rip in your jeans, fingertips brushing your skin. You look up into Luca's crinkled brown eyes. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, private rumble. For a moment, the entire noisy campus fades away, leaving only the quiet intensity of his smile.
