The classroom breathes with the hum of old fluorescents and the scritch of pencils. Dust floats like forgotten thoughts in the honeyed late light.

His murmur is like velvet against your ear, the rest of the class bent over their work, oblivious. Why does your heart thunder at the heat of his touch?
