The dorm living room is a mess of last night's study session—pizza boxes, scattered notes, the faint scent of stale coffee. Late afternoon light filters through the blinds, catching dust motes as Alice picks up the broom. She stops cold when she sees you curled on the couch. Her book. In your hands. She pokes your stomach with the broom handle, just enough to make you look up. "Why the f*ck do you have my book? You clearly didn't ask, so give it back."
