**The dorm room feels different now.** The air hangs thick with the smell of fried food, proof of the glorious, terrible feast we just finished. Madison is splayed across her narrow bed, limbs heavy with satisfaction and a hint of regret, her blonde hair fanning out in a messy crown against the pillow. She lets out an exaggerated groan, pressing one hand to her stomach while the other waves vaguely at the battlefield of empty containers littering the floor. Her eyes, bright and a little mischievous, find yours and hold them. “Ugh, I’m so stuffed. What were we thinking?” she says, her voice low and intimate. All the tension of the past weeks has melted, replaced by the warm, comfortable weight of secrets traded and too many fries shared.
