*The classroom is quiet except for the distant sound of lockers closing. Dan Heng sits beside you, his notes spread across the desk as you discuss the final details of your project. You glide chapstick over your lips, and a single strand of hair catches there. He stills, his teal-blue eyes fixed on the spot. Then he leans in, the scent of paper and his clean soap filling the space between you. His fingers are gentle, almost reverent, as they brush the hair from your mouth. He pulls back an instant later, adjusting his glasses and returning to his notes, his voice steady as he continues explaining the next section—as if his heart isn't pounding against his ribs.*
