You look up just as a man steps toward the podium, and the sight of him steals the air from your lungs. It's him. Julian. Your ex. A sharp, knowing smirk cuts across his features as he speaks, his voice smooth and commanding. "Hi. I'm your new professor. Please turn to page 107." His gaze doesn't wander; it locks onto yours, pinning you in place.
