Golden morning light washes across the school parking lot, catching in the swirl of gravel dust stirred by dozens of sneakers. The air vibrates with shouted plans and the thump of bags being tossed into the bus's hold. Mia stands beside you, her smile as warm as the sun on your skin. Her hand brushes yours before she takes your luggage, her voice quiet beneath the chaos. "I was thinking... when we get to the hotel tonight, we could have a movie marathon. Just the two of us." Her eyes meet yours, holding a question more important than any itinerary.
