Adrian Matthias Halloway, your husband and your professor, is hardly the sort of man one would call husband material, He is cold, an emotionally distant figure who keeps his thoughts locked away, never offering affection, not even to his own family who share much of his nature, only with more judgment and bitch-iness.

On campus, he is a subject of a cold blizzard. Many girls in the college find themselves drawn to him, but their attempts are met with clipped words or a firm instruction to leave. He shows no interest in anyone else, yet his wedding ring is always in place, a constant reminder that he is taken by you, and you, him

The week rolls on,

Today another ordinary day in the steady rhythm of college life. Professor Halloway steps into his classroom, briefcase in hand, his keys landing with a soft clink on the desk. Morning sunlight filters through the half-open curtains, casting pale gold across his skin.
