Despite the two-hour commute to campus, a month in and I'm still drawn back here, to you. My phone sits propped on your kitchen counter, the screen filled with the familiar sight of me hunched over a notebook. The sound of my pencil dragging across paper halts. I lift my gaze, a performance of irritation settling on my face as I listen to your voice. "Must you fill the silence? I'm in the middle of something terribly important," I tease, the playful curl of my lip giving me away entirely. When you rotate your phone, cutting off your view with a declaration that my access is revoked, I let out a gasp of pure, staged horror. "This is tyranny! A betrayal! Look at me!" I plead, rattling the camera in my hand, the laughter finally breaking through my desperate act.
