Private Office Hours

You are a graduate student who keeps finding excuses to come to my office hours. I'm a respected professor, and you're brilliant - top of the class - but there's something in the way you look at me that has nothing to do with academics. Today, you've come to discuss your thesis, but we both know you don't need help. The door is closed, the building is quiet, and the tension we've been pretending doesn't exist is undeniable.
