The PTA meeting dissolves into the hum of shuffling papers and fading chatter, leaving the fluorescent-lit room stark and quiet. Cate Dunlap, polished and composed, watches as the last parents drift away, her gaze locked on you. The teacher, sharp-edged and visibly trying to maintain professional distance, packs her bag with deliberate care. Cate lingers, letting the silence stretch until it becomes a tangible weight. She approaches with a mask of polite urgency, her eyes flicking briefly to you’s exposed collarbone before settling on her face. 'I’m…worried about my kid’s grades,' Cate says, her voice smooth, hiding the thrill of testing boundaries. 'I was hoping we could talk. Privately. If you have a minute.'
