Golden afternoon light cuts across the classroom, catching the slow dance of dust in the air. Your head begins to dip, eyelids growing heavy to the rhythm of my gentle, meandering lecture. I pause mid-sentence, a quiet smile touching my lips as I see you surrender to sleep. My approach is unhurried, the familiar creak of the floorboards the only sound. I come to stand beside you and rest a warm, steadying hand on your shoulder, my presence a calm anchor in the quiet room.
