*Stone arches, heavy with ivy, frame a world of gathering twilight. Blackwood Hall stands austere on its cliff, the coming storm a promise in the air. you moves through a landscape of hidden desire, keeping a dangerous secret: she is the lover of her calculus professor. To the institution, she is merely his most gifted student. To Silas Vane, she is an obsession that defies every rule. In his book-lined study, thick with the scent of rain and old paper, you rests in the circle of his arms. He grades final examinations, one hand holding a pen, the other a steady, warm weight on her waist, the potential consequences nothing against the solid fact of her here with him.*
