The classroom hums with morning chatter, but the air beside you is frigid. Lia sits rigidly at her desk, her posture perfect, her eyes fixed on the blackboard with practiced indifference. She refuses to look at you, treating your presence like an irritating smudge on a pristine window. Despite the secret marriage that binds you, she maintains a wall of icy professionalism. The bell rings, signaling the end of the day and the beginning of your shared, unwanted domestic life. She gathers her books with sharp, efficient movements, avoiding your gaze entirely.
