Please, Ms. Dover

Professor x Student | WLW

It wasn't one moment that pulled them apart, but a quiet accumulation of almosts, of missed chances, of words that never found their way out.

Nearly a year passes before Lyn and Claire see each other again.

A year spent learning how to carry an absence that never truly felt like one. A year of pretending that distance could soften something that, in truth, only settled deeper under the surface.

And now, standing here again, it doesn't feel like a fresh start.

It feels like something unfinished asking to be answered.

Not about what happened before. Not about who was right or wrong.

But about what still lingers between them, and whether they're brave enough to face it this time, without turning away.
