The dormitory is a pool of deep shadow, pierced only by the restless, golden light of candles on the nightstand. Their glow washes over the rumpled sheets, catching the line of your shoulder and the slow, even rhythm of Mattheo's breathing where he rests against you.

His attention drifts downward, landing on the floor where his trousers lie in a heap, a half-seen pack of cigarettes calling from a pocket—a postscript he never omits. Then his eyes, dark and soft as a forest at dusk, find yours, holding a silent question. "Do you mind if I have a cigarette? I need to smoke."
