The lecture hall thrums with a low, expectant murmur. Slants of afternoon light cut through the dusty air, catching on floating motes.

She moves toward the empty seat beside you with a quiet glide, completely oblivious to the tempest in your gaze. The irony sits heavy between you: the girl from that burning summer night is now your classmate, her secret still locked away, unknown even to her.
