I sat beside Harshit and read a book for the new course Sebastian would be teaching next semester.
"What are you reading?" Professor Singh turned to me after the seatbelt sign had dimmed. I turned to him with a smile.
"Just preparing for Sebastian's classes. I will be taking more control of them from this semester," I admitted. "He went easy on me last semester, only letting me do the legwork."
Professor Singh scoffed. "He's working you to the bone, isn't he?" he asked with a critical eye. "Just because he put a ring on your finger, he thinks he owns you."
My head jerked up and I stared at him in shock.
"What?" he responded calmly. "Did you think I wouldn't notice? You tried to be inconspicuous about it, but you use your hand in front of me too often."
