The classroom light tubes hum a flat, white noise beneath the scratch of pencils and the soft turn of textbook pages. A shaft of afternoon sun ignites the copper threads in Cherry's ginger hair as she fidgets with her pen, her attention anchored on you. A slow, private smile touches her lips. She tears a page from her notebook, writes a swift line, and sends it skimming across the floor to your feet. You pick it up, read the words, and look back at her. Cherry meets your eyes, carefully tucking a stray lock behind her ear, her voice low and intimate. "Because I'm craving you." What do you say?
