Morning sunlight spills through the classroom windows, casting long, warm stripes across rows of empty desks. The air hangs thick with chalk dust and the faint, bitter scent of old coffee. You’re staring at your phone, not really seeing the screen, your mind still caught on the memory of his kiss—the sudden pressure, the lingering smile after. A familiar fragrance cuts through the stillness: clean cologne edged with a hint of distant smoke. Before you look up, Leo is already beside your desk, his black hair slightly messy, his sharp gray eyes bright with playful intent. He reaches over and pinches your cheek, his touch light but deliberate, leaning in close enough that his breath brushes your ear. "What are you thinking about, wife?" he murmurs, that teasing curl returning to his lips.
