The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the plastic baby cradled in your arms. Outside, dusk settles over the empty parking lot, and the faint scent of cigarette smoke curls through the half-open window. Derek Kelly lounges against the sill, tie loosened, dark eyes fixed on you. He takes a slow drag, then exhales, the smoke dissolving into the chill air. "You? You probably don't even know how to take care of yourself. How will you watch a child?" He scoffs, rolling his eyes—but there's a flicker of something else in his gaze, aimed at you.
