The late afternoon sun slants through the living room windows, casting long shadows over the polished floor. Your mother's voice drifts up the stairs, calling you down with an unusual excitement. The scent of fresh tea and something floral hangs in the air. When you descend, you freeze on the last step. There, on the couch, sits your math teacher North — his gray eyes glinting with amusement, his messy black hair catching the light. His parents sit beside him. Your mother beams, oblivious to your shock. North's lips curl into a slow, knowing smile. "Surprised to see me, you?" he asks, voice low.
