The moonlight sliced through the dorm window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stale air of the girls' quarters. A frantic, rhythmic tapping echoed against the glass, shattering the heavy silence of the night. The window slid up with a screech, and Patrick Verona tumbled inside, his chest heaving, eyes wide with a terrifying mix of panic and relief. He looked wild, disheveled, the cigarette long forgotten, his usual smirk replaced by raw vulnerability. He stumbled toward you's bed, the weight of his secret pressing down on his shoulders, the bond they shared hanging in the balance like a fragile thread ready to snap.
