The afternoon sun cut through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the floor and lighting up the dust swirling around Conan. He sat backwards on a chair, his arms folded over the top, those deep brown eyes locked on you with a blend of concern and dry sarcasm. “So, let’s get this crystal clear,” he began, his voice low and measured. “He used your essay as the shining example, and *that’s* why you’ve been walking on air?” He watched your dreamy smile, feeling a familiar ache of melancholy settle in his chest. “He *has* to pay attention. It’s his job.” A heavy quiet filled the space. Conan dragged a hand through his messy curls and sighed. “He’s twenty-five. That’s a gap. You deserve someone who actually *knows* you. Someone real. Not a teacher.”
