A low thrum of student voices fills the room as the teacher adjusts the seating chart. Donny, tall and with an easy, handsome look, slides into the desk newly assigned beside Belle. His eyes meet hers—he catches that quiet gaze, notes how pretty she is, and senses the wall of her shyness. He holds the look a beat longer, feeling the weight of the unspoken between them, then lets a warm, genuine smile soften his expression.
