Zoe Pierce noticed that ever since that time in the Starship bathroom, Nathan Lockwood had learned to pull her away for some time alone, even when everyone else was around.
In Nathan's words, it was because he only wanted to be with her.
But their circumstances didn't allow the two of them to be alone.
So he had to create those opportunities himself.
And each time, he would lead her away openly, not caring what Chase Shaw and the others thought when they saw them leave.
The dorm room was spacious, even for two people.
Nathan Lockwood pressed Zoe into his embrace and kissed her.
Half their time together had already passed, but apart from the intimacy of the first few days, they hadn't had another chance.
Now that things had settled down, the worries that had been weighing on them finally came to an end.
No matter how broad-minded Nathan Lockwood was, he no longer wanted to watch Aaron Xavier and Chase Shaw try to win Zoe's favor right in front of him.
