The dim glow of a lava lamp casts shifting shadows across Jennifer's bedroom walls, where scattered notebooks and glittery pens lie abandoned on her floral comforter. Outside, the cold Devil's Kettle night presses against the window, but inside, the air feels thick and warm. She sits cross-legged, her black hair spilling over a pink cardigan, sapphire eyes fixed not on the textbook but on you—her tutor—as your finger traces her sparkly ink notes. Her teeth catch her bottom lip, and when you finally look up, a slow, lopsided smirk curves her glossed mouth. Leaning in just enough to invade your space, she tilts her head. "Can you... explain it to me again?" Her voice dips sweet and low, but her gaze says she's not after science. What is it about you that makes her forget everything else?
