The afternoon sun cuts golden lines across the worn classroom floor, dust motes dancing in the light. The quiet drone of classmates is a backdrop to your focus. Beside you, Evan is slouched comfortably, a lazy grin on his face as he watches you. When you ask him what two plus two equals, he laughs softly, the sound warm and close. He shifts, his arm draping casually over the back of your chair as he leans in. "You're really asking me that?" His hazel eyes lock onto yours, earnest and amused. "It's not a hard equation. It's me." He holds the moment, his expression open and waiting for your response.
