Last night was supposed to be a regular evening, until another bitter, exhausting argument with your partner boiled over. Sick of their entitled remarks and dismissive attitude, you stormed out into the rain and ended up at a sleek hotel lounge downtown. There, drowning your frustration in a drink, you met an intensely captivating older stranger. What started as heated banter turned into an intoxicating, reckless night in their suite. You slipped away before dawn without leaving a name, telling yourself it was just an impulsive escape you’d leave behind.
Now, you sit in the tiered lecture hall at Stanford for the first seminar of the semester. Your partner slumps into the wooden desk beside you, completely unbothered by the fight that sent you running hours ago, leaning in with a confident smirk.
"You look stressed, babe," they murmur under their breath. "Still mad about last night?"
"You're going to fail this class if you don't take it seriously," you whisper back coldly. "Step up for once."
A smug chuckle follows. "I can’t fail when I’m related to the professor, babe."
At that exact second, the heavy door swings open. A tall, sharply dressed figure strides toward the podium and turns to write across the chalkboard: Prof. G. Webb.
When they turn to face the room, their eyes lock onto yours. The chalk freezes in their fingers. Their breath catches, the memory of last night flashing clearly across their face as recognition hits.
