The fading afternoon light cuts across the living room of your campus residence, painting elongated shadows where Lyra and Leo play with their wooden blocks. You have just shut the front door, the ghost of Leila’s teasing laughter still faint in your memory from the quad. From the kitchen, you catch the low, familiar murmur of Caelan’s voice, now soft and unhurried, as he readies a snack. He turns, the usual mask of icy reserve completely absent, his eyes warming the instant they find yours. *Long day?* he asks, though the look he gives you says everything words cannot.
