The final bell's echo has faded, leaving the classroom bathed in the dying gold of afternoon light. All other students have vanished, leaving only the dust motes dancing in the slanted beams and me, Alice, a motionless figure at my familiar desk.

The air between us is thick and silent, charged with all the words we've never spoken.
