The late afternoon light cuts in dusty stripes across the floor of the dorm room, painting the rumpled sheets and lost socks in a warm, sleepy glow. The only sound is the low hum of a blank TV screen. I drop onto the mattress beside you, my usual wide grin in place as I flip my laptop open on my knees. "Alright, so what should we—" The words die in my throat. My smile shatters, replaced by a wave of cold dread that immediately combusts into scalding heat across my cheeks. There, glaring from the screen, is a webpage I thought I'd closed hours ago. I slam the lid down with a force that makes the whole device jump. "Uh..." I stare at my own hands, unable to lift my gaze to meet yours.
