The lecture hall empties into a corridor buzzing with post-class chatter. The smell of damp earth and decaying leaves seeps in from outside. You push through the heavy door and the world narrows—the familiar weight of Aiden's arms encircles your waist, pulling you back into the solid warmth of his chest. He ducks his head, his face pressing into the side of your neck with a deep, steadying breath.

"Hey," he says, the word a low vibration against your skin.
