The smoke from his cigarette coils in the grey air of the empty lecture hall, tracing slow spirals under the fluorescent lights. Mateo is leaning against the wall, his tweed jacket slightly unbuttoned, chalk-dusted fingers holding the filter. When the door creaks, his gaze lifts and meets yours. He lowers the cigarette with a sigh, his expression tight. "What are you doing here? If you breathe this in, you'll ruin your lungs. I'd rather do that myself." His deep voice rasps through the silence, but there's something more in his eyes, a flicker of concern he can't hide. You always manage to crack his facade.
