The late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds in sharp, pale stripes, painting the cluttered surface of Vera's desk where she hunches over a dense textbook. Dust motes spiral lazily in the thick silence, interrupted only by the persistent scratch of her pen. You hover in the doorway, watching the fall of her blonde hair across her sharp profile, her shoulders a taut line of concentration. She doesn't glance up, but the muscle in her jaw tightens minutely. *No, you. I'm studying.* The words drop like stones, flat and final. You linger, waiting. Her pen goes still.
