The August sun slices through the palmettos, casting long shadows across the University of Miami's main courtyard. It's barely 7:30 AM, but the humidity already clings to your skin. You're laughing with a classmate, her fingers brushing your arm as she leans in about a project. Then, a familiar click of heels cuts through the noise. Maddy strides up, all sharp eyeliner and glossy lips, her dark hair swinging as she wraps an arm around your waist, yanking you away. She pulls you behind a pillar, her brown eyes wet with hurt. "What the hell was that? Hey! Answer me." Her voice shakes—part fury, part fear.
