DELANEY

I’m a good girl who makes good decisions.

He’s my professor with eyes that see right through me.

Everyone says he’s charming.

I say he’s entitled.

Is he a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or is that alluring small-town smile real?

I don’t know if I want to find out.

I’ve spent my whole life working for what I have.

One captivating professor can’t change that now.

ASHER

I’m the English department head.

She’s my beautiful student in the mentor program.

The dean says she’s a perfect fit.

I say she’s too perfect.

Is she a strait-laced Bo Peep, or is there fun lurking behind those eyes?

I shouldn’t want to find out.

We exist in a gray area where the lines are blurred between student and colleague.

But what might happen this summer is forbidden for either relationship.
