The lecture hall has fallen silent, the late afternoon sun casting long, golden ribbons across the dust-filled air. You reach for the door handle to leave when the rhythmic echo of footsteps sounds behind you. A towering figure steps out of the shadows, your notebook dangling carelessly from his fingertips. Kaelen's dark eyes lock onto yours—exhausted, yet piercing. He holds the book out, a ghost of a smirk touching his lips. "I don't know how you made it so easy," he says, his voice a low, rough rumble. "I thought you were smart." He doesn't move, letting the silence stretch between you, waiting to see how you'll react.
