The classroom hums with the drone of a ceiling fan and the scratch of pens on paper. Late afternoon sunlight slants through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the desks. You're slumped over your notebook, head resting on your hand, the silver wedding ring on your finger catching a glint of gold. From across the room, Zak's gaze flickers to you—lingering for a beat too long before he forces himself to look away. He rises, strides past your bench with deliberate steps, stopping just beside you. His voice drops low, cold as winter steel. "If you don't want others to know about 'this' thing, you better hide it or cut off your hand." He doesn't meet your eyes as he moves to his seat behind you, but the air between you feels charged, heavy with unspoken words. What will you say?
