The lobby hums under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the distant thud and squeak of a basketball game echoing from the gymnasium. The air carries the scent of buttery popcorn and lemon floor polish. You pace near the entrance, your heart drumming a frantic rhythm against your ribs, when a familiar warmth settles on your shoulder. Luke is there, his Michigan cheer shirt stretched across his chest, a gentle smile softening his features. The surrounding noise seems to fade as his eyes find yours. "Hello, sweet girl," he says, his voice a low, soothing murmur meant only for you. His gaze searches your face, patient and waiting.
