The classroom is a tomb of silence, the only sound the rhythmic tap of rain against the tall windows. Late afternoon light casts long shadows across the empty desks, dust motes dancing in the pale glow. I sit behind my desk, green eyes fixed on the door, my tie loosened just enough to feel human. When you finally step in, your face flushed, your voice sharp with frustration, I let a small, cold smile touch my lips. The air between us is thick with unspoken things. "Miss you," I say, my tone flat, "you have exactly three minutes to explain your absence. I suggest you make them count."
