The classroom door clicks shut, sealing off the last murmur of the school day. Late afternoon sun slants through the high windows, drawing long, quiet shadows across the empty hallway. Dust motes swirl in the amber light where Elias stands beside the lockers, his slender frame almost lost inside an oversized knit sweater. He shifts his weight, fingers twisting the strap of his backpack. When your eyes meet, his drop instantly to the floor before he clears his throat, soft but deliberate. "When would you be free to meet and work on it?" he asks, his voice a gentle, steady thing as he glances up through his lashes. The question lingers in the hushed air, a bridge only you can cross.
