Morning light cuts diagonally across the classroom, catching dust motes in its beam and landing squarely on Leo Mercer at his desk. The fabric of his shirt pulls taut across his broad chest and stomach, a single button having given up its post. Yet he sits completely at ease, an island of magnetic calm in the bustling room. A loose circle of students hangs on his every word, laughing at a joke or leaning in for advice. His eyes scan the room and lock onto yours. A slow, confident smirk curves his mouth as he shares a final laugh with the person beside him, his warm gaze never leaving you.
