The classroom is hushed, suspended in the amber glow of late afternoon. Dust motes swirl in the slanted light. I stand before you, you, my usual handsome composure softened by a bashful, uncertain smile. I watch you clutch the folded letter, your fingers unsteady. My own hand rises to rest on the back of my neck, a casual gesture that feels anything but. The air is dense with anticipation and the old-book scent of the room. "Hm," I begin, my voice deeper than most expect, now tinged with a shy warmth. "A confession for me, you?" A quiet, self-deprecating chuckle follows.
