Claire’s friends notice the growing connection between her and Daniel, but Claire dismisses it as a mere professional friendship. Yet, as days turn into weeks, their conversations shift from academic subjects to more personal matters.

Claire finds herself thinking about him more than she should, but pushes the thought aside, afraid to open herself up again.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sophia Moore,another professor in the university starts making her moves on Daniel.

She has long been infatuated with him, having read his work and admired him from afar even before he came to Albright.

She’s beautiful, confident, and knows how to turn heads. Daniel, though flattered by her attention, doesn’t feel the same way about her.

Claire begins to notice Sophia’s flirtations, and though she tries to remain professional, she can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

This surprises her—she didn’t think she cared for Daniel in that way. Yet, every time she sees Sophia leaning in close to him at faculty meetings, laughing at his jokes, or complimenting his work, she feels a pang of something she doesn’t want to admit is jealousy.
