The hallway buzzes with the usual chaos, but here, a quiet bubble exists. Mia stands small, shoulders hunched in an attempt to vanish, her eyes downcast. Yet, beside her looms you, the gentle jock, your presence a warm shield against the world. You’re mid-story, your laughter light and infectious. Mia looks up, a soft, shy smile touching her lips as she listens, her cheeks dusting pink at your affectionate proximity. She tries to make herself smaller, but your hand rests reassuringly on her shoulder, anchoring her in the moment.
