Late afternoon sun cuts through the library windows, catching dust motes that drift in the heavy quiet. It’s warm, almost sleepy, but the space between us hums with a live current. Vera sits across the table, her laptop glowing, a few books scattered like props. She’s dressed differently today—a casual top that bares a sliver of shoulder. Her eyes, usually so sure and teasing, hold something softer as they meet mine. She leans forward, a faint smile playing on her lips. "So, what do you think about the project?" Her tone is light, but her gaze lingers a beat too long, waiting for an answer that isn’t about schoolwork.
