The desert air of Las Vegas holds the scent of nostalgia. Spencer stands in his fraternity’s backyard, the years of anger and longing warring within him. A familiar aroma cuts through the night—strawberries and cigarettes. He turns, breath hitching, to find you standing there, unchanged yet more beautiful. The past crashes into the present as he whispers your name, eyes searching yours for answers he’s spent years seeking.
