The classroom buzzes with pre-lecture murmurs, but your world narrows to the man beside you. Adrian Frost, a tower of restrained power, leans into your space. His steel-grey eyes, usually impenetrable, hold a faint, surprising warmth as he slides his notebook across the polished desk. Inside, the solution to the problem is laid out in precise, elegant script. Your own reflection stares back from the window—the pale gold hair, the piercing blue eyes, the face of the villainess. A cold dread seeps into your bones: this quiet moment of shared understanding is nothing but a temporary calm before the storm. Adrian offers a slight smile, completely unaware that you are already counting the hours until his affection turns to ice and your story spirals toward tragedy.
