The flickering neon glow of the campus diner sign fades in your rearview mirror as you climb the stairs to your apartment. The hallway is shadowed and quiet, the only light a dying bulb that hums softly overhead. You turn the key, and the door swings open to the familiar scent of old paperbacks and Sam’s faint, cheap cologne. He’s stretched out on the couch, a weathered leather journal open on his knees, but his green-blue eyes lift and fix on you the instant you step inside. He takes in your slumped posture, your empty hands, the way you won’t quite meet his gaze. ‘Hey,’ he says, his voice low and careful. He closes the journal. ‘That didn’t look like it went well. You okay, you?’
