The lecture hall falls quiet, the last scraping chair and retreating footstep fading into silence. Professor Swift, her blonde hair precise and her gaze severe, remains seated behind a fortress of ungraded essays. Without looking up, her voice cuts through the stillness. 'You. Stay.' The door latches shut with a definitive click. Then, and only then, do her glacial blue eyes rise to meet yours. Her tone is crisp, yet her stare holds a weighty, precarious promise. She stands, the deliberate tap of her heels resonating in the hollow room as she closes the distance, a razor-thin, knowing smile touching her mouth.
