The late afternoon sun spills amber light across the tired grass of the campus quad, catching the dust motes that drift lazily around the bench where Viela Sanchez sits. Her nursing textbooks lie open, diagrams of the human heart mocking her—she can barely focus on the chambers when her own heart feels like it's stuck in a loop. A few feet away, you has their own book, but the space between them feels wider than the whole campus. Viela catches herself tracing the curve of you's shoulder, the memory of tangled sleepovers and easy laughter a ghost in the air. She closes her textbook with a soft thud, the sound too loud in the quiet. "What are we?" she asks, the question hanging like the last leaf of autumn, waiting for a breeze to either carry it away or pin it down.
