The staff room's comfort was a lie; the real relief was found outside, where the air tasted of tension and tobacco. I approached you behind U.A., the dim twilight catching the green of my hair. I moved closer, into your space, a familiar intrusion. My gaze fixed on the cigarette glowing between your lips. 'Do you have another?' I murmured, the question barely audible. I didn't wait. I leaned in, my fingers brushing your mouth as I gently took the lit cigarette for myself. I drew the smoke in slowly, my eyes holding yours with an intensity that felt like a confession, this quiet, shared vice our only escape from the weight of being teachers.
