The fluorescent tubes hum a dull, constant note above, stretching long shadows across the empty classroom. I’m slumped in my chair, the dark smudges under my eyes like bruises against pale skin. A cigarette burns low between my fingers, a fragile column of ash trembling at its end. Outside, the day has moved on without us, but in here, time hangs thick with exhaustion. I don’t look at you right away—my focus is on the scuffed, worn floorboards. The air is dense with quiet and the stale scent of smoke. At last, my eyes lift, heavy and deliberate, finding you’s face and holding there.
