WHEN ROSS STOPS OUTSIDE of a building marked Monȃe, I recognize it as another dorm building. They’re all similar in shape and appearance, but this is bigger than Earhart. Twice the size if I had to guess.

“You’re taking me to your dorm room? But isn’t that—”

“It’s fine, Monȃe is a mixed dorm.”

“Oh,” it comes out small as he opens the door, waiting for me to slip inside. It’s quiet, most of the students in class, and a frisson of energy rushes through me at the idea of being all alone with Ross, in his room.

I’m nineteen and I’ve never been in a guy’s room before. I don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed. But from the way the skin along my neck warms into my cheeks, I know my embarrassment is winning out.

“This is me.” We stop at a door toward the back of the ground floor. Past the kitchen and what looks to be a rather impressive communal room, it’s tucked away down a separate hallway. And I smile to myself, realizing that, like me, Ross is lucky enough to have his own space.

His hand lingers on the door handle as if he’s unsure this a good idea, but feeling a heady mix of impatient and eagerness, I brush him aside, pushing open the door, and enter the room. My breath leaves my lungs as I take in his private space. The far wall is painted a dark gray, but it’s the artwork that draws my eye. Sketch after sketch hang in haphazard clusters. I move closer, running my gaze over each of them. Some are so intricate, so detailed, they could be real. A couple sitting on a bench, their heads close, almost touching. Their attraction to one another lifting off the page. The Malcolm Building during the morning rush, in all its chaotic glory. But the one that stands out the most to me, is an oak tree. My oak tree.

My fingers reach out, ghosting over the dark lines. Ross has captured its age and beauty to perfection and I can feel its story swirling on the paper.

“This is...” my voice catches in my throat as I become aware of Ross behind me. He’s close, standing to my left, the front of his shoulder almost touching the back of mine. Energy crackles in the sliver of space between us.

“You like it?”

“I love it. This tree... there’s something about this tree.”

Silence hangs between us as we stand there taking in the sketch. There’s so much I want to ask Ross, to tell him, but I’m struggling to form words. Aware of his breath along my neck. The heat from his body rubbing against mine. It’s never been physical with Ross before, not like it is with Endo and Cael. They tease me, call me beautiful and look at me with longing and lust in their eyes. They make my heart soar and my stomach flip, but Ross is different. The connection we share is different. Deeper. We connect on a spiritual and emotional level I can’t explain.
