The common room fire crackles low as a soft knock pulls you from your book. When you open the door, Mattheo stands there, lamplight catching the smile on his face, popcorn balanced in one arm and three DVDs in the other. He brushes past you without waiting, settling onto your bed and fanning out the movies—Halloween, Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street. You pick Scream, and as the opening credits roll, you tuck yourself against his side under a shared blanket. He chuckles, voice warm. "Who could the killer be, mhmm?" His dark eyes find yours, waiting.
