My Professor’s Obsession Alone on Purpose
"Two coffees, black, and if you touch that sugar caddy one more time, Vane, I’m going to make you pay the tip with your own allowance," I said, sliding into the vinyl booth of a diner that smelled like old grease and new beginnings.Vane looked at me like I’d grown a second head. He’d never seen me like this. Not this sharp. Not this loud. "I don't have an allowance anymore, Sera. We don't have anything. Why are you acting like we’re on a lunch break from a job you don't have?""Because I’m going to have one by three o'clock," I told him, tapping my knuckles against the laminate table. "And you’re going to stay in that library down the street and finish your GED prep. No more 'accidental brides.' No more hiding in penthouses. We’re going to be boring, normal people who pay rent in cash."The waitress came over, her name tag saying Martha. She looked at my cheap gas-station dress and then at the way I was holding myself—shoulders back, chin up, eyes scanning the room like I was looking
My Professor’s Obsession Sera Walks Out
"Are you actually doing this, or are we just playing a very scary game of make-believe in the middle of a swamp?" Vane whispered, his voice cracking as he shoved a handful of socks into his backpack.I didn't look at him. I couldn't. If I looked at the fear in my brother’s eyes, I’d unpack the bag and crawl back into the study to apologize for wanting a soul of my own."We’re doing it, Vane. Grab your inhaler and the extra charger. We leave through the pantry window in five minutes," I said."Caspian will find us before we hit the main road," Vane said, his shadow dancing against the peeling wallpaper as he moved. "He has people, Sera. He has those scary guys Elias knows. He’ll think we’ve been snatched.""He won't," I said, finally zipping my duffel. It felt lighter than it should have. "I'm leaving a note. Not on the desk, not where he can find it right away. I’m leaving it in the book of poems he gave me. He’ll find it when he calms down and looks for the one thing I didn't take."
My Professor’s Obsession Caspian at His Worst
"Pack your things and get out of this room, Sera, because I can’t look at you and the ghost of your mother at the same time without wanting to set this entire house on fire," Caspian said.He was standing by the window of the study, the morning sun hitting the silver in his hair and making him look older, harder, and entirely unreachable. The ledger was still open on the desk, the names of our ruined families staring up at us like a list of casualties. He hadn't slept. I could tell by the way his shoulders were hiked up to his ears and the way his hand was white-knuckling the back of a chair."I'm not going anywhere until you stop talking to me like I’m a student who failed a test," I said, my voice echoing in the stale air of the library. "We just found out our parents were friends. We found out Arthur Calloway is a thief. Why are you pushing me away now?""Because you're a liability!" he roared, turning on me so fast I flinched. His eyes were bloodshot and wild. "Do you understand w
My Professor’s Obsession A Door Left Open
"I left the door to the safe open because I wanted you to see it, Sera, not because I was careless," Caspian said, his voice reaching me from the bottom of the stairs.He was standing in the shadows of the foyer, a glass of amber liquid in his hand. He looked like a man who had finally stopped trying to outrun his own ghost. I was upstairs, standing in the doorway of the small library he’d forbidden me to enter. The door wasn’t just unlatched; it was swinging wide, a heavy, iron-bound thing that looked like it belonged in a dungeon, not a summer house."You wanted me to see a pile of old ledgers and dusty maps?" I asked, my voice echoing in the hollow hall. "Or did you want me to see the checkbook of a dead woman?""I wanted you to see the connection," he replied. He started climbing the stairs, his footsteps slow and deliberate. "I’m tired of being the only one who knows where the bodies are buried. It’s a heavy weight to carry alone, even for a Blackwood."I stepped into the room. I
My Professor’s Obsession Sloane’s Last Warning
"Answer it, Sera, because if that phone vibrates against the floorboards one more time, I’m going to throw it into the swamp and we’ll never know who’s trying to sell us out," Caspian said.He was leaning against the mahogany banister, watching me with eyes that looked like bruised glass. He hadn't touched the files on the floor yet. He just stood there, letting the weight of my father’s signature hang between us like a thick, poisonous fog.The burner phone—the one Elias had smuggled to us—was buzzing near my foot. The caller ID was a string of zeros, but I knew the rhythm of the person on the other end. It was the third time in ten minutes."I'm not supposed to talk to anyone," I whispered, my hand shaking as I reached for the plastic casing. "You said every call is a breadcrumb.""It’s Sloane," Caspian said, his voice flat. "I recognize the area code prefix she’s using to bounce the signal. She’s been calling me, too. If she’s this desperate, the breadcrumbs don't matter anymore. T
My Professor’s Obsession The Ruin Behind the Ruin
"Don't go into the study, Sera, because the floorboards are soft and the things I left in there were meant to stay buried in the humidity," Caspian said, his voice drifting from the kitchen where he was trying to coax a vintage stove into boiling water.I stood in the hallway, my hand already hovering over the brass knob of the one room he’d kept locked since we arrived. The wood felt cold, even in the Georgia heat. "You can't tell me we’re partners in this war and then keep half the map to yourself, Caspian. If Dominic is coming, I need to know what he’s looking for.""He’s looking for leverage," Caspian called back, the sound of a metal pot clattering against the burner punctuating his words. "And leverage is just a fancy word for things that make people feel small. You’ve felt small enough this week. Stay in the light.""I'm done with the light," I whispered to the empty hallway.I didn't turn the knob. I leaned my shoulder against the door and gave it a sharp, practiced shove. The
