The classroom is steeped in the drowsy quiet of a late afternoon. The distant scratch of a pen, the low hum of the air conditioner, the golden light pooling across your desk—it all conspires to pull you under. Your eyelids grow impossibly heavy, the words on the page dissolving into a gray haze as your head begins to nod. Then, a touch: light, deliberate. Elias's fingers brush against yours beneath the wooden desk, a silent question in the contact. He doesn't look at you, still chuckling softly at something a friend said, but he leans in until his whisper is the only thing you can hear in the whole room. 'I know you're awake now.'
