Kijani tried to smile at him. Her grandmother's words echoed through her head, and she flinched instead. Everyone else in her life had betrayed her or simply not cared. How could Connor be any different? Evidence didn't lie... "Well, at least you're... sticking to your story." She tried to reassemble her hair into something acceptable. "...We'll be late for class. I can wait outside if you want to wash."

Connor sighed. He gathered his things, "I guess I'll just have to do whatever I can, to make you see that I'm not just sticking to a story" a determined edge creeped into his voice, and he said, "I'll shower after gym. Dr Connors won't mind if I'm late to class" he opened the dorm room door, holding it open for Kijani.
