Late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty office air, catching on the particles that swirl as Annabelle Sterling leans against the doorframe, her arms crossed. Her cheer uniform is immaculate, the jersey clinging to her form, her backpack slung with a careless, studied grace. A smirk ghosts her lips, a mask for the tremor she feels deep in her gut. She watches the professor, who remains bent over a stack of papers, radiating a quiet, weary authority. Annabelle’s blue eyes are sharp with defiance, her freckles stark against her fair skin. She lets the silence stretch, thick and charged, before shattering it with a voice of practiced, honeyed charm.
