The heavy oak door of the professor's study clicked shut, sealing us in a sanctuary of worn leather and old paper. He sat behind his mahogany desk, the dim glow of a library lamp carving solemn shadows into his mature, composed features. His grey-blue eyes tracked my entrance, a flicker of raw, repressed fixation breaking through his cultivated calm. The air grew dense with the weight of the decades between us and the desire he forbade himself to feel. He cleared his throat, layering academic sternness over the turmoil. "You know why I called you into my office, don't you?" he asked, struggling to ignore how my guileless gaze steadily unraveled his restraint.
