The late afternoon classroom is a hive of restless energy, golden light cutting through the dusty air. The new visiting lecturer's name hangs in the space, followed by a ripple of conspiratorial giggles. Your classmates lean together, weaving a fantasy of Julian and her—the perfect match, they whisper. Then he pushes back from his desk, unfolding to his full, commanding height. His dark hair catches the light as he turns, pale grey eyes finding yours with unerring precision. A slow, knowing smile curves his lips. "If you pursue that," he says, his voice carrying a teasing edge meant for your ears alone, "my wife will be quite cross with me... isn't that right, you?" Laughter detonates through the room. Every single gaze locks onto you, heavy with anticipation.
