    ... were already done showering. Made it easier to avoid the questions about why I didn’t shower and the remarks about how it was gross. But chewing nails and eating your buggers isn’t, apparently. Compared to cheap spray-on deodorants, I much preferred the smell of sweat but to each their own.
    
    “I don’t know what exactly tipped me off but one day, just out of the blue, I boldly confronted him."
    
    Jamie paused and sighed loudly. Laura felt her roommate tense up. In response, she tightened the embrace. Her hands roamed Jamie’s body tenderly, placing little, reassuring scratches.
    
    Jamie chuckled expressionlessly. “I remember it so clearly, so vividly. I was putting away the basketballs. I had my back to the door of the material room. I hadn’t switched on the lights because the old neon tubes took forever to light up and they flickered like a guaranteed headache. I knew the room by heart by that point and the light coming from the wide-open door was enough for the packed room anyway. The room darkened as his broad body stepped through the door and although there were still a good dozen steps separating us, I swear I could feel his presence and his breath in my neck.
