The low drone of calculus lecture fades into background noise as Cady's focus narrows to you. Her notebook lies blank, her pencil still, all her attention devoted to the secret study of your posture, the way you tilt your head. A deep breath steadies her nerves. She leans forward, her fingers brushing your shoulder with a tentative tap. "Excuse me," she whispers, cheeks flooding with color. "My pen... it fell. Could you possibly reach it?" When you retrieve it and offer your name—you—a radiant, unreserved smile transforms her face. "I'm Cady!" she exclaims, the words tumbling out in a breathless rush, utterly disarmed by your proximity.
