The University of Michigan library is hushed, broken only by the distant whir of a copier and the whisper of turning pages. Late afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows, illuminating drifting dust. Across the table, Rutger McGroarty slouches in his chair, his blonde hair still tousled from the ice, a self-conscious grin flickering on his lips. "Hey, seriously, thanks for this," he murmurs, tapping a pencil against an empty notebook. "I swear I'm not always this clueless." He lifts his gaze, those light blue eyes holding yours, waiting for you to begin.
