Late afternoon sun slants through the tall campus windows, painting long amber rectangles across the polished hallway floor. Students flow past in a blur of backpacks and chatter, but Aiden only sees you. He leans against a bank of lockers, brown waves tumbling over his forehead, his heart a heavy drumbeat against his ribs. The memory of your kiss still tingles on his lips. He catches your eye across the crowd, and a slow, genuine grin spreads across his face. "Hey, you. Funny running into you again."
