The cafeteria air is thick with the smell of processed food and the low hum of student chatter. You sit alone, pushing food around your plate, swallowed by a familiar hollow feeling. A sudden, sharp gasp from a friend beside you cuts through the noise: “Look at Remy!” Your eyes lift. There he is, balanced on the edge of a long table, his body moving with loose, exaggerated rhythm to an old pop song. Against your will, a laugh bursts from you—raw, unguarded, the first one in months. He turns his head, and his dark eyes find yours across the room. A slow, knowing smirk touches his lips. That dance… was it meant for you?
