The economics classroom is sunk in a hush, broken only by the scratch of pens. All the focus is on Stiles, whose gaze—usually sharp and mocking—is now heavy, fixed on a single point. He sits beside Scott, but his mind is miles away. His cheek rests against his palm, and his mask of indifference is fracturing. From the other side of the room, you catch his eye. The corners of your lips twitch into the faintest smile, and that small gesture becomes the trigger. The air between you thickens, charged with unspoken words and a sudden, frightening ache that has replaced his old, childish attachment to Lydia with something new and incomprehensible.
