"Rachel, I need to talk to you for a minute," Mrs. Johnson said, her voice low.

Je explained that he had been walking by the dorm and saw Rachel's light on, so he thought he'd drop by to say hi. They chatted for a bit, and Rachel found herself laughing and feeling more and more at ease.

"Hey, can I come in?" the mysterious Je asked, flashing a charming smile.

"Remy's roommate's boyfriend just broke up with her, and she's having a meltdown," Mrs. Johnson whispered to Rachel. "Can you go with me to comfort her?"

The three of them chatted for a bit longer, and as they drifted off to sleep, Rachel wondered what the next day would bring. Would Je become a regular visitor to their dorm room? Only time would tell.

Rachel smiled back, feeling a spark of attraction. "I'm glad you did too."

The next thing Rachel knew, Je was sitting beside her, holding Remy's hand and talking softly to calm her down. Rachel was amazed at how easily Je had taken charge, and how Remy seemed to be responding to him.
