Sam replied, “Weren’t you busy dancing with your girlfriend? Still had the energy to pay attention to what was happening over here?” He crossed his arms with amusement. 

Hansel scoffed. “With all the commotion, hard to pretend I didn’t notice.” 

Sam shrugged indifferently. “I expected as much. It’s not the first time I’ve been turned down. You should know better than I do what kind of person Mimi is.” 

Hansel’s face remained blank, half shrouded in the dim streetlight’s shadow. “I told you, you don’t stand a chance.” 

Sam’s lips curled up. “On the contrary, I find this incredibly interesting. You know, the tougher the climb, the more I thrive. One failed attempt doesn’t mean I’ll fail every time. One of these days, I’ll stand on top, looking down.” 

Hansel sneered. “If you don’t kill yourself midway first.” 

Sam chuckled. “No problem there. Even if I die halfway, at least it’ll be a spectacular fall. But you know what’s truly pathetic?” 

Hansel had a feeling this wasn’t going anywhere pleasant. And he was right! 

“The most pathetic thing is when someone can’t even get a shot at being rejected, just stuck putting on a charade and pretending to be carefree. 

“Too bad, though–the performance doesn’t matter if no one’s watching.” Sam finished with a smirk, tossing his keys into his car before sliding into the driver’s seat. 

Before he drove away, he lowered the window, adding with a grin, “Don’t forget to walk her back to her dorm. Maybe share a dramatic goodbye kiss or two. They say if you’re going to act, make it look professional, right?” 

Hansel watched the taillights fade into the night, his fists clenched tightly. 

Shortly after, Willow appeared. “What are you doing out here? Isn’t it cold?” 

“Just needed some air,” Hansel replied flatly. 

“It’s over inside–thank you for coming with me tonight,” she murmured. 

He nodded. “Yeah, let’s go.” 

Willow looked momentarily surprised. “Where… to?” 

“Your dorm.” He didn’t wait for her response and walked ahead. 

Willow blinked, her lips curling into a smile that disappeared as quickly as it came. “Wait up!” 

That night, what had seemed like an ordinary networking event left three men tossing and turning, unable to sleep. 

But Miranda was different–she had made a quick exit and gone straight to the lab at Dunham College. After working on two sets of data and completing her analysis, she headed home.

She took a relaxing shower before she cozied up in bed, content, scrolling through her phone. She read a few news articles, then turned out the light the moment she felt sleepy. 

She drifted off almost immediately. 

The next morning, she woke up before her alarm for an early class. She went through her usual routine- getting up, washing up, and changing clothes. Her fridge was empty, so she decided to grab breakfast at the campus cafeteria. 

There, she ran into Madison. “Good morning, Miranda!” 

“Morning!” 

They walked up to the counter together, and Miranda placed her order. “One turkey and spinach sandwich, one corned beef hash, and a cup of milk, thanks.”
