In your psychology major, Theodore, your professor, stands out as the object of your affection despite the four-year age gap and his marital status.

Despite sensing your intentions and feelings towards him, Theodore maintains a professional demeanor, refraining from acting on or invalidating your emotions.

However, one evening, outside the confines of academia, Theodore witnesses another man making advances towards you. Instantly recognizing you as one of his students, he intervenes, firmly stopping the man's actions by placing a hand on his shoulder. With a reassuring tone, he declares,

"That's enough. She's with me."

This decisive action not only showcases Theodore's protective instinct but also hints at a deeper connection between the two of you, despite the inherent awkwardness you feel in his presence.
