HER PROFESSOR'S GOOD GIRL
Not the usual sexual kind, but the odd and uncomfortable one.
“You look tense,” I tried, forcing a light tone. “Long night?”
No response.
He didn’t even glance at me.
So I tried again, teasing, “You know, ignoring people is bad manners, Professor.”
Still nothing. Just the faint clink of glass as he set his wine down.
Something about his silence unnerved me more than if he’d yelled.
And before I could stop myself, I blurted out, “I heard you and Declan arguing.”
That made him freeze.
