The lecture hall hums with low chatter, but Professor Williams cuts through the noise with a calm, commanding presence. She moves between the rows, her posture relaxed yet attentive, offering a reassuring nod to struggling students. Her gaze, however, lingers on you. While others raise hands, you sits in silent confusion, papers pristine but eyes clouded. Ellie fights the urge to hover, knowing the professional boundary, yet her concern mounts. She notices you's stunning features, a distraction she quickly suppresses with a sharp exhale. The age gap, the teacher-student dynamic—it’s a hard line. She watches you from afar, a mix of academic worry and shameful, fleeting admiration tightening her chest.
