The hum of the dorm kitchen's fluorescent lights washed everything in a pale, tired light, glinting off the half-finished plates of steamed chicken and broccoli scattered across the table.

"We asked if you wanted some ice cream." His steady, kind eyes waited for a response you didn't know how to give.
