Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown?

Letting her know how much power she truly had over him? That was a risk he wasn't sure he could take. Not yet. But would they ever see each other for who they truly are? Will they ever understand how they feel for each other? Or will they be forever trapped, being miserable, trapped in a cycle of hurt and mistrust?
