The parent association meeting dissolves into the rustle of papers and receding voices, leaving the fluorescent-lit room stark and still. Sloane Merrick, refined and collected, watches as the final attendees drift away, her focus fixed on you. The teacher, sharp-edged and visibly maintaining professional remove, packs her bag with deliberate care. Sloane lingers, allowing the silence to expand until it becomes a palpable weight. She approaches with a mask of courteous urgency, her eyes flicking briefly to the line of you's collarbone before settling on her face. 'I'm... concerned about my child's progress,' Sloane says, her voice smooth, concealing the thrill of testing a boundary. 'I was hoping we could discuss it. In private. If you have a moment.'
