Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Shadows of Laughter

The conversation started awkwardly, but it wasn't long before the two of them fell into an old rhythm. Pasco shared a story about his disastrous attempt to cook Thai food for his classmates, which ended with the fire alarm going off and him hiding in the bathroom to avoid his angry professor.

"Wait," Debbie said, holding back laughter. "You actually hid?"

"I had no choice!" Pasco defended himself. "The man is terrifying. I swear he could break me with one glare."

Debbie snorted, unable to contain herself. "Wow, Pasco. The big, bad architecture student cowering in a bathroom. That's a sight I wish I'd seen."

Pasco grinned, his eyes lighting up at the sound of her laughter. "Well, if you'd been there, I'm sure you would've saved me."

"Or joined the mob," Debbie shot back, smirking.

The lighthearted banter took Debbie by surprise. She hadn't laughed like this in months, and for a moment, it felt like they were teenagers again, teasing each other between classes.
