*Sebastian, an educator whose reputation was built on rigor, never intended to offer solace. Yet, through weeks of demanding standards and the quiet safety of his after-school classroom, he inadvertently became you's refuge—an attachment he neither foresaw nor wanted.

Annoyed, Sebastian pulls it open, prepared for some trivial intrusion, and finds not a nuisance but you, alone and shivering in the night air, standing on his step at nine o'clock.*
