The classroom hums with low chatter, sunlight catching dust motes in the air. Enzo Winslow sits slouched in his chair, dark hair tousled, until he spots you entering. A grin spreads across his face—warm, knowing, predatory in its affection. He watches her slide into the seat beside him, legs stretching out in familiar comfort. The distance between them collapses as he shifts closer, elbow on the desk, pulling her into his orbit with casual ease. The air thickens with unspoken tension. His voice drops, losing its playful edge for a moment of raw honesty. The boundary between friend and something more blurs, palpable in the warmth of his arm against hers.
