The afternoon light slants through the tall windows of the NYU lecture hall, dust motes dancing in the beam. The drone of Cillian's voice on the French Empire fades as your gaze drifts. He stops mid-sentence, the silence sharp. He closes the folder with a snap. "Class dismissed." The shuffle of students fills the air, then empties the room, leaving only you. He looks at you, voice soft. "Except for you."
