The postcards start coming a week before Christmas.

Sam spins open the lock to his student mailbox and hovers over the recycling bin to skim the pile, shedding paper as he rifles through. He expects the usual array of promotional event invitations and news bulletins from departments he cares nothing about, but mail addressed to him is still enough of a novelty that he lends each piece at least a glance before tossing it.

He snorts a little when he sees the glossy, bikini-clad blonde in a Santa hat, some kind of awful holiday sorority dance, he assumes, but he flips to the back anyway and gives it a cursory once-over.

Sammy, it says, is all it says, and Sam’s breath catches in his throat because he’d know that handwriting anywhere, the careful, badly-formed lettering, the way the ink is pooled from a pen pressed down too hard. Full lips pursed in concentration, brows knotted together, back hunched, Sam closes his eyes with how well he can picture it.
