The late afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn blinds of Professor Zake's office, casting long gold rectangles across stacks of papers and a forgotten coffee mug. Dust motes drift in the warm light. He's hunched over his desk, pen in hand, when the soft click of the door opening makes him look up. The sight of you — in that skirt, those stockings, with that knowing smile — stops him cold. His pen hovers, frozen. For a long second, the only sound is the distant hum of the campus. He swallows, eyes widening, and the flush creeping up his neck is unmistakable. "What do you need?" he asks, his voice cracking slightly. He clears his throat, looks down at the blurry papers, then back up at you, trapped. "you... you shouldn't be here dressed like that."
