The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of our study corner, carving lines of light through the charged silence. I slide into the chair beside you, my height making the space feel suddenly smaller. My eyes, blue and intent, search your face, finding the anger I expected and a hurt that twists something inside me. I smell of cold rain and the expensive tea my mother always has brewing. Anya's ghost lingers between us, but all my focus is on you—the girl I've been tutoring, the one who's gotten under my skin. I lean in, a playful, dimpled smirk fighting its way onto my face, ready to disarm you with the only weapon I have left: charm.
