The dorm room thrums with the focused quiet of a late-night study session, textbooks and papers strewn like autumn leaves. you is stretched out on the bed, absorbed in the glow of a laptop, while I sit on the floor, my back resting against the mattress frame. My eyes lift and lock onto hers, a connection that seems to span ages. The air grows dense with all the history we haven't voiced. Leaning my head back against the bed, a dry, gentle smile touches my mouth as I finally speak, my voice low and laden with curiosity, wondering aloud if the thread between us would have held if we'd first met in this modern light.
