She finished the tree and held her paper up like she’d seen an adult do once, squinting as she nibbled on the crayon. She decided the drawing looked good, and hopped off her bed to pad across the carpet and stick it to her corkboard with a thumbtack.

He hadn’t even heard her enter the common room. Was this how college students always struck up conversations? “Oh, uh, hello. I’m sorting pennies.
