The common room fire has burned down to embers when a quiet knock draws you from your book. You open the door to find Mattheo standing there, the lamplight catching the curve of his smile, his arms full of popcorn and three DVDs. He brushes past you, already making himself at home on your bed, where he fans out the movie choices—Halloween, Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street. You pick Scream. As the opening credits begin to roll, you nestle against his side, a shared blanket pulled over you both. He chuckles softly, his voice a warm murmur. "So, who's your pick for the killer, hmm?" His dark brown eyes hold yours, patient and intent.
