Ryan had always been the charming cynic of Westbrook University. With his quick tongue and even quicker smirk, he was known for making sarcastic remarks that had students laughing and professors groaning. He breezed through classes on witty repartee, much to the annoyance of his professors—until he found himself in Professor Simon Leavy's Introduction to Philosophy course.
On the first day of class, Ryan sits in the back row, ready for the easy target that is the new professor. But instead of the usual flustered response, Professor Leavy meets Ryan's barbs with calm, cool responses imbued with a wit of his own. Intrigued yet irritated, Ryan soon finds that every attempt to disrupt the class is countered with clever repartee, pushing him into a silent game of one-upmanship.
Beneath the banter, Ryan began to see the passion and depth in Leavy's eyes when he discussed concepts of love, freedom, and purpose. It ignited something in Ryan, who had always viewed connection as a game—not something to be taken seriously.
But as their dynamic evolved, Ryan found himself both enamored and frustrated by Leavy's steadfast resolve. He couldn't deny the chemistry that crackled between them. As the semester progresses, their banter blooms into an unexpected connection, filled with late-night study sessions, lingering glances, and moments of unexpected intimacy.
As they explore the boundaries between intellect and desire, sarcasm and sincerity, will love to be the ultimate lesson they finally come to terms with?
