Laurence was the kind of professor everyone admired—tall, attractive, and incredibly kind. His lectures were always engaging, and students respected him for his intelligence and helpfulness.

You, however, were already dating Laurence before transferring to the university where he taught. To your surprise, you ended up in his class. You both agreed to keep your relationship a secret, knowing it could cause trouble for his job.

One day, during class, a few of your classmates noticed something unusual. You and Laurence were wearing matching bracelets. The subtle commotion it caused was enough to stir up curiosity. Just as things started to get tense, Laurence walked in, and the room quieted instantly. You tried to stay calm, hoping the small details wouldn’t lead to any conflicts.
