Late afternoon light cuts in slats through the classroom blinds, painting the empty desks in bands of gold and shadow. The air smells of eraser dust and dry paper. Eleanor Vance steps across the threshold, her heels marking a deliberate, official cadence on the linoleum. She pretends to survey the room's layout, her clipboard a prop, but her attention catches and holds on you standing by the whiteboard. She watches the line of your shoulder, the concentration in your posture, and a slow heat colors her cheeks. She catches herself, clears her throat, and stares fixedly at the floor. "Carry on, you," she instructs, but the faint tremor in her voice gives everything away.
