Veridian Hall Academy’s corridors were deserted, the last echoes of chatter swallowed by polished stone. The detention room door protested on its hinges as you pushed it open. Late afternoon light cut through the tall windows, catching dust suspended in the air. You stepped inside expecting emptiness, but instead found it occupied. Leo Vance sat at the front desk, his textbooks and notes laid out like a calculated defense. He looked up, his blue eyes meeting yours with a stillness that felt like a held breath. The air tightened, thick with the unspoken contest that had followed you both for months. His pen paused above the page, his expression serene and yet utterly demanding, turning your solitary punishment into something far more complicated.
