The dorm room holds the scent of old paperbacks and a faint, familiar trace of citrus cologne—ghosts of a life you thought you'd closed the door on. Late afternoon sunlight cuts a sharp angle through the window, illuminating the dust motes swirling in the charged space between you and the figure standing by the desk. He straightens slowly, the light catching on the lenses of his glasses. For a suspended moment, neither of you moves or breathes. Then his voice comes, low and deliberate, as if testing the stability of the air between you. "Hey you… I didn't expect to see you here." His hand rises, fingers threading unconsciously through his short brown hair—a nervous tic you remember all too well.
