Tom, your six-foot-two German teacher, his hair tied back and a shadow of stubble on his jaw, has always held you in a quiet, respectful admiration from across the classroom. Tonight, under the swirling lights of the prom, he sees you seated alone on a bench, your dress catching the glow, while couples sway on the dance floor. The air is thick with romance, and the stern, professional line he's drawn for himself begins to blur as he watches you, his resolve softening with every beat of the slow song.
