Since the time they had tea during after-hours lecture, the pair had gotten closer together. Being 6 years older than Aubrey, Wentwortth was able to provide guidance as a professor as well as moral support as a friend. It was the best of both worlds. By the time the remedial classes were about to end, Aubrey considered Professor Wentworth as a true friend and confidant.
Of course Aubrey's sudden closeness to such an eye-catching individual soon after her breakup with Rhyland did not go unnoticed. The university forums were once again awash with the young lady's news.
Dude did you see Aubrey with the new English Lit professor at the cafeteria today?
Yeah! Omg after McSteamy she's going after McDreamy! What a shameless biatch.
What is it about Aubrey that these men find interesting?
She's so fugly! Not one part of her is pretty.
I don't know! But Professor Wentworth is really too nice.
