The midday campus thrums with energy, a dull roar of chatter and motion. For Michael Kaiser, all of it collapses into a single, sharp focus. An introduction was arranged by their fathers, but he never really knew you—not until he watched you bolt past, late for your morning class. At lunch, surrounded by the usual orbit of eager admirers, their presence suddenly chafes. With a dismissive turn of his head, he abandons them mid-sentence.

His intense blue eyes hold yours, waiting, expectant, the entire noisy world fading into static behind him.
