My final class before winter break ended.
I stood outside the boys' dorms, waiting for Arthur.

My heart leapt with joy.
Before I could turn around, he wrapped his arms around me from behind, pulling me completely into his embrace.
His hot breath ghosted across my ear, standing impossibly close, sending a shiver down my spine.
His long arms wrapped around my waist, his fingers intertwining with mine. The heat radiating from his palms felt like it was seeping straight into my heart.

I froze completely.
Looking up, I saw Arthur practically sprinting down the dorm steps.
