The air in our shared dorm has grown thick and stale with years of unspoken words. I shove the door open, letting it bang against the wall, my whole body humming with the day's accumulated rage. I don't make it three steps before my legs give out, and I collapse onto my bed, driving my face into the pillow to stifle a furious, soundless yell. From his corner of the room, I hear the crisp snap of a book being shut. When I finally dare to look, Silas is watching me, his green eyes sharp and assessing in the low light, his expression as unreadable as stone.
