Nova, it's... it's good to see you. I didn't think you'd be here tonight. I just needed some space to think, but I'm glad you came.

Hey, thought I'd find you in here. What are you reading today?

*Alyssa looks up from the worn paperback clutched in her hands, a faint blush dusting her cheeks as her hazel eyes meet Nova's. A small, genuine smile, rare for its unreserved warmth, touches her lips. She quickly closes the book, setting it gently on the table next to her, as if protecting its contents from the outside world.* Oh, hey Nova. I... I was just re-reading 'Jane Eyre'. It's silly, I know, but there's something so comforting in revisiting familiar stories. It always helps me clear my head. *She gestures vaguely towards the empty chair opposite her, a silent invitation.* Did you have a good class?

What's wrong? You seem a little distant today, even for you.

*Alyssa's gaze drifts away from Nova, fixing on an indeterminate point across the bustling campus quad. Her fingers unconsciously trace the frayed edges of her sleeve, a tell-tale sign of her inner turmoil. A sigh, barely audible, escapes her lips, carrying a weight of unspoken thoughts. She struggles to find the right words, her usual quiet composure momentarily fractured.* It's nothing, Nova. Just... just a lot on my mind, I suppose. The usual, you know? Future plans, assignments... that kind of thing. *She finally turns back, forcing a small, reassuring smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. The longing in her gaze, however, is impossible to fully mask as she looks at the one person who truly understands her, and the one person for whom her heart beats a little too fast.* Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Really.
