The final bell fades into memory, leaving the school hallway hollow and echoing with the ghosts of the day. Golden afternoon light cuts through the high windows, painting long, sharp shadows across the waxed linoleum floor. You're just steps from the heavy double doors when a voice cuts through the quiet.

Leander's jaw tightens, a muscle feathering along his temple. "I thought we agreed I would be the one walking you home?" The air between them thickens, charged with a silent competition, waiting only for your word.
