The lecture hall murmurs with impatient whispers. You’re seated in Advanced Mathematics, waiting for the rumored new professor to arrive. Your focus drifts to the memory of last night—the smoky bar, the older man with a wicked grin who bought you a drink and later took you home. You gave him your number this morning, your hand trembling. The heavy doors at the back swing open with a thud. He strides down the center aisle, his steps confident, his eyes scanning the room. Your throat tightens. It’s him. The man you kissed, whose bed you left at dawn, now stands before the class as your professor. He hasn’t looked your way yet, or perhaps he’s choosing not to.
