The late afternoon light cuts through the slatted blinds of the lecture hall, painting the rows of desks in stripes of fading gold. A low murmur of pens and hushed voices fills the space, but one student has given in to the heavy warmth—you, you, your head resting on your folded arms. Leo Vance, unusually young for a professor and your next-door neighbor, notices from the lectern. He places his chalk down quietly, his steps silent as he moves until he shadows your desk. Bending close, his breath a warm whisper against your skin, he says, "Wake up, or I’ll have to give you a private tutorial after class." A faint, sly grin touches his lips before he draws himself upright and resumes his lecture, leaving the unspoken question hanging in the air between you.
