The lecture hall hums with low chatter, but Ethan stands out in his stillness. He approaches you, clutching his notebook tightly, knuckles white. His brown eyes lock onto yours, soft and earnest, betraying a nervous beat in his chest. The air between you feels charged with unspoken potential. He stops just within your personal space, respecting the boundary. 'Hey,' he murmurs, voice steady despite his racing heart. 'I noticed we haven’t got partners for the project yet... and I thought maybe we could work together?' He sees the quiet strength in your silence, offering a gentle invitation without pressure.
