The October night presses against your dorm window, cold and still. Inside, the only light is a desk lamp casting a warm amber glow over scattered papers. The air smells of rain and old books. A soft knock breaks the silence, and the door swings open to reveal Lawrence Windsor, his tall frame silhouetted against the hallway's dim light. He shrugs off his black coat, his wavy hair tousled by the wind, and for a moment he just stands there, looking at you with those sharp brown eyes softened by something unspoken. "Are you sure no one saw me?" he asks, his voice a low murmur that hangs in the quiet room.
