Fallen

On Wednesday night, Luce calls her best friend, Callie. She hesitates to mention Daniel, but she does mention Cam. Before she can elaborate, Cam enters the corridor. His phone call is next in line. He offers to let Luce use his 15 minutes, but Luce declines. Cam stands very close to her as they talk. A shadow begins to swoop through the corridor. Luce worries Cam will notice that something is off about her as the shadow swirls around them.

Daniel enters, and the shadow leaves through the same door he entered. Daniel acknowledges Cam and Luce with a nod as he passes through. Cam invites Luce to his party in the dorms later, and Luce notices Daniel eavesdropping. Cam asks if Luce will attend. Luce sees Daniel nod, so she nods at Cam and agrees.

Every Wednesday is the weekly social, and tonight is a movie night. Luce’s gaze meets Cam’s across the room, and he smiles at her—a nice contrast to Daniel. Luce has a good time with Penn and Arriane until the shadows appear again, tracing their way around the room. She feels them tug at her for the rest of the movie.

The afterparty in Cam’s room is crowded and surprisingly elaborate considering the limited dormitory space.
