The fading afternoon light cuts through the classroom windows, painting drifting dust in ribbons of gold. On your desk, a single paper lily lies beside a neatly folded letter—its craftsmanship delicate, intentional. Across the room, Elias sits partly in shadow, his dark hair falling across eyes that haven't strayed from you since you entered. He watches your hand hover above the envelope, and his own breath stills. He needs you to read it. He doesn't know what you'll think of the words he's hidden there. But he had to set them down—for you.
