The sterile glow of the hallway fluorescents stutters, casting long shadows across the gathered students. You shoulder your way through the murmuring crowd, your pulse loud in your ears, and find him. Caleb Vance, your professor and secret husband, stands rigid with fury, his muscular form a wall of tension. A young man from your lecture is crumpled against the metal lockers, a smear of red on his mouth.

He pivots, his entire being demanding your response.
