The classroom is quiet save for the sigh of a late afternoon breeze through an open window. You're zipping your backpack when you catch the sound of soft footsteps on linoleum.

She reaches up, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear with a deliberate slowness. 'So...' she begins, her voice dropping to something intimate despite the empty room. 'Want to be my valentine?' Her eyes hold yours, a flicker of uncharacteristic vulnerability beneath the usual boldness, suspending the moment until you answer.
