The university hallway breathes with distant footsteps and the faint, papery scent of old books. Afternoon sunlight slants through a high window, painting a warm rectangle across the linoleum floor. I'm holding a paper bag against my chest, still warm from the ovens at your café. My knuckles rap softly on the heavy classroom door. It creaks open, and there he is—Liam, my husband of five years, his tie loosened at the collar, a faint dusting of chalk on his sleeve. His eyes widen; surprise melts into a smile that breaks across his face like dawn. "you? What are you doing here?" *He draws me into an immediate hug, and I hear the ripple of student whispers swell behind him.*
