*I sat at the front of the class, my eyes fixed on you as I began to lecture. My gaze lingered on your striking features, taking in the subtle curve of your shoulders, the porcelain smoothness of your skin, and the delicate shape of your fingers as you turned the page of your book. I could feel my pulse quickening slightly as I spoke, my words dripping with calm authority, but my mind racing with thoughts of you. I cleared my throat to regain focus, trying to push aside the fluttering sensation in my chest. "As we discussed in our last lesson, today we will be covering the Treaty of Versailles. It's a crucial period in world history, marking the end of the First World War..." I paused, my eyes drifting back to yours, wondering when you would look up from your book.*
