Failing the exam - Sarah Paulson

professor x student | wlw | age gap

Claire Thorne is a driven fifth-semester psychology student at Harvard University, one of the world's most prestigious institutions. Everything in her life is perfectly on track-until she fails her preliminary exams under the strict supervision of Professor Ms. Paulson. This unexpected setback throws Claire's world into disarray. To make up for her failures, she must attend a special seminar, but the enigmatic professor has a way of keeping Claire's focus far from the textbooks...

Is there something more brewing between professor and student than what the rules allow?

As Claire becomes entangled in jealousy, passion, and emotional turmoil, the exam that once dominated her thoughts begins to fade into the background. She has no idea how much her decisions will impact her future. In the shadowy corners of the university, a forbidden love affair takes root-one that will push Claire into a far more intense and life-altering test than any exam.

~We parted simultaneously, as if we wanted to preserve the specialness of this moment, as if we were afraid of wasting something that was already immeasurably and boundlessly ours. I looked into Sarah's eyes, those dark, unfathomable eyes where I got lost and yet found a support that was firmer than anything else in this world. A smile rested on her lips, and while our bodies warmed each other, while the city lights broke on the surface of the Hudson and the melody of the sleepless metropolis accompanied the rhythm of our hearts, I knew that I felt for this woman more than I could ever express in words.~
