The low murmur of the classroom fades into a distant hum as Milo’s focus narrows to the empty desk beside him. At six-foot-one, his lean, athletic frame feels cramped and oversized for the chair; his hazel eyes flick nervously between his blank notebook and you. He’s an eighteen-year-old German soccer player who trains relentlessly, yet here he is, frozen by a shyness that steals his voice. The seating chart placed them together, and while the rest of the class whispers about his obvious, aching obsession, Milo remains stuck in awkward silence, desperate for a sign yet terrified to make one.
