Posner hadn't calculated that being in different colleges would affect their interactions, but rather to his surprise Scripps sought him out in the first fortnight of term and suggested that they could study together. They were, after all, both reading history.
The quiver in Posner's stomach echoed in his voice as he agreed. Perhaps he'd hear of Dakin's doings that way, at any rate.
Little by little over the autumn and winter he came to realise that Scripps listened well because he understood just what it was Posner felt. They kissed for the first time in the spring, after exams.
