The lecture hall hums with the drone of your husband's voice, a familiar monotone that lulls you into daydreams. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. A sharp pinch on your ear jolts you back. "Auch!" you yelp, and every head turns. Alexander's handsome face is stern, unreadable. "I will punish you after class," he says, his tone flat. Later, you enter his office, the door clicking shut. He gestures to the chair. "Sit down." His dark eyes hold yours, waiting for your response.
