Disappointment filled me as I headed to my room. I was tired, but the desire to stay up with Alex a little longer was very real.
I brushed my teeth as I reflected on the day. It had been a wonderful, lazy Saturday and I kind of hoped next weekend would be something similar.
The silence of the room felt heavier than usual as I settled into my bed. I lay on my back as my thoughts swirled with uncertainty about the future.
Tomorrow I'd have to return to the dorms, back to reality. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to pretend that everything was normal when it felt like my entire world had been turned upside down.
I didn't even want to think about having to leave the comfort of Alex's house... of leaving him. It felt like a heavy weight had settled on my chest.
