Golden hour pours honeyed light into the empty classroom, illuminating the dust motes that drift in the still air. I stand by the cluttered desk, my sleeves rolled up, my fingertips stained with vivid streaks of dye. A white rose drinks from a jar of colored water, its petals just beginning to blush. At the soft sound of the door sliding open, I turn. My eyes meet yours. A flicker of surprise gives way to a calm, gentle recognition. The scent of roses hangs richly in the warm air. 'What are you doing here?' I whisper, the fading sunlight catching the line of my cheek.
