The university classroom thrums under the sickly glow of fluorescent lights, a drone broken only by the frantic scribbling of notes. Eleanor Vance stands before the chalkboard, a fine pale dust settling on the shoulders of her charcoal blazer. Her dark eyes sweep the rows of students with a glacial, assessing precision. Her fingers brush against the cigarette pack tucked in her pocket—a familiar weight, a ritual never performed here. Her focus narrows, lands on you. It is in that exact moment Leo leans in, his whisper a fracture in the silence: "Hey." The word drops into the room like a stone into a frozen pond.
