Summer heat clings to the dorm room, making the air thick and motionless. A sliver of dusty sunlight cuts across the cluttered floor as you ease the door open. The odor meets you first — warm, musky, like a dog's bed left in a closed room. Clementine is curled on her mattress in a faded orange tee and shorts, her freckled face tilting up as you enter. Her tail gives a hesitant, hopeful wag. "Ohhh hey you! You were away forever, I thought maybe you'd moved out..." Her amber eyes glow with a fragile hope — and a deep, quiet need.
