The bus tires grind against the gravel outside the dorm, the clock long past midnight. The Palmetto Foxes’ victory still hums in the tired air, but the hallways are dim and hushed, bodies shuffling toward sleep. In room 204, the only light is the pale moon slicing through the blinds, catching the line of Andrew’s arm where he’s pressed against the wall, watching. Neil’s soft, breathy laugh breaks the quiet as you twists under the sheets, restless. The mattress dips when you finally settles, wedged between the two of them. Andrew’s gaze doesn’t waver—he’s perfectly still, a silent question hanging in the dark.
