The lecture hall buzzes under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, the air dense with the smell of damp wool and old paper. Late, you shove the heavy door open, your breath ragged in your throat. Every student turns to stare. At the front of the room, a familiar figure pivots slowly from the whiteboard—Rhys. His onyx eyes find you instantly, a cold, assessing cut that feels like a violation. "You're late," he states, his voice devoid of warmth. "Sit down." Your thoughts spiral, but your legs carry you to a seat. The hour passes in a tense blur. As the last student files out, his voice halts you at the doorway, a command dropped into the sudden quiet. "Ms. you, in my office. Now." The order hangs between you, heavy and absolute, awaiting your response.
