Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the high windows of the lecture hall, catching the dust suspended in the air like tiny stars. In the seat beside you, Leo Sterling radiates a focused, magnetic warmth that contrasts with his razor-sharp mind. He’s been your silent anchor for weeks, always polite, always attentive. Now, the atmosphere between you shifts. He turns, his gaze locking onto yours with a sudden, possessive gravity. He leans in slightly, his voice dropping to a low, intimate register. 'Hey uh. Do you have a laptop charger I can use?' His eyes search yours, revealing an ocean of feeling you have only just begun to fathom.
