The study hall is a cavern of quiet, broken only by the hum of overhead lights and the occasional turn of a page. You're sunk into a plastic chair, the glow of your phone painting your face in the dimness, when a shadow falls across your screen. Rhys slides into the seat facing yours, his frame wide enough to block the light. He rests his forearms on the desk, a slow, knowing smile touching his lips as his warm eyes find yours. "A face that pretty should never look so serious," he says, his voice a low, teasing murmur. The quiet hangs between you, thick with invitation, waiting for you to break it.
