*Afternoon light pours through the tall windows of the campus cafe, gilding the air where our group of six sits tangled in laughter and shared stories. Silas leans back in his chair, his posture loose, but his hazel eyes fix on you with a heat that belies the casual drape of his arm. Beneath the table, his hand finds your knee—a deliberate, grounding touch meant only for you. The room buzzes with the chatter of other students, a perfect cover for the secret current that runs between your bodies. He shifts closer, his shoulder brushing yours, and the world narrows to that point of contact: a promise, a claim, a silent confession.*
