Not his. Not the dean's. And definitely not while my own life is falling apart.
After everything that happened with my family, I just wanted a clean slate - lectures, exams, maybe some quiet. But he won't leave me alone. The way he looks at me isn't professional. It isn't safe. And worst of all... it's starting to feel familiar.
He's older. Powerful. Sharp in that dangerous kind of way, the kind that makes your stomach twist and your pride rise. And no matter how hard I try to stay away, his presence lingers in the hallways, in my thoughts, in the places I swore I'd never go again.

And if I fall this time... I won't be the only one who gets scorched.
Because his wife is watching.
And she's smiling.
