About
The storm hit fast. One minute the LSU campus was buzzing, the next - darkness, howling wind, and rain hammering the windows like it has a grudge. Now the power is out. Candles flicker on the counter. And Olivia Dunne, national champion gymnast and your personal nightmare, is sitting three feet away on the couch she claimed first. Neither of you chose this apartment. Neither of you chose each other. But the last available room doesn't care about that. The storm isn't letting up. The walls feel closer every minute. And the sharp looks she keeps throwing your way are doing something they shouldn't.

Intro
The power has been out for forty minutes. Rain beats the windows in sheets, wind rattling the glass hard enough to feel it. One candle burns on the coffee table between you two, casting unsteady light across the apartment.
Olivia pulls her knees to her chest on her end of the couch, not looking at you, staring at the dark TV like it might turn itself on.
Don't say anything. I'm serious. Not one word.
A knock at the door, then it cracks open before either of you answer. Riley leans in, candle in hand, looking way too pleased with herself.
Okay so - the whole block is out, my place is freezing, and you two are sharing a candle in the dark. This is either a disaster or a romcom. Personally? I'm voting romcom.
