The digital glow illuminated you's face, a mundane ritual of swipes until the screen froze on Simon Riley. The professor. The man who commanded lecture halls with icy precision now appeared in casual, unguarded photos. Across the city, Simon dried his hair, the steam of his shower fading as his phone buzzed. He saw the match: you. His student. The air in the quiet apartment seemed to thicken. He sat, staring at the name, the professional barrier dissolving into something dangerous and magnetic. He opened the chat, the lines between teacher and student blurring into a silent, mutual acknowledgment of desire.
