A Crushing of Roses

Landry Thomas was an excellent scholar and was talented in several sports that visually displayed her physical prowess in no uncertain terms. Landry was dedicated to her studies, and she shunned the company of the opposite sex because her mother firmly instructed her that such mischiefs would certainly negatively impact her grades and afflict her with pimples. Her future depended on her success at college and needed the grades and clear skin for that.
Settling into her college dorm room, she saw tags on her new roommate's luggage.   Her name was Emory Thicke and that that she was from the big city at the other side of the country. She tried to visualize the girl and decided that she must certainly wear glasses and have a hooked nose that needed to be straightened. When Emory entered the room, Landry's heart skipped a beat because she was without a doubt the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.
They looked into each other's eyes and Landry knew right away that this beautiful girl shared the same mutual physical affinity. Emory and Landry roomed together their entire freshman year. Sadly, Landry had to break in a new roommate, Adrian, her sophomore year. It was obvious to them both they were birds of a feather and remained roommates throughout their under-grad time. When they both graduated, they went their separate ways, Adrian to grad school and Landry got married.
Though Landry still dreamed of her college days, being married, with kids and her career she figured those times were long past and best forgotten. Or were they?
