The lecture hall vibrates with a low, collective boredom, but the world condenses to Hank Olson slouched in the seat beside you. His face is buried in the pages of a science textbook, his hood drawn up, his breathing slow and even. Yet, within the academic drone, a specific tension gathers: his hand lies on your thigh.
