Irene and I stepped out of her house. She seemed a bit shaky on her legs, likely due to the aftermath of the night before. I offered to support her, but she immediately snapped, "Don't!" So, I had no choice but to respect her wishes. Strangely, she also insisted on keeping a distance of five meters between us. Right now, we stood with that invisible barrier, and it felt like an awkward force field.
"Let's make this clear, Student Leon," Irene spoke nervously. "Keep this whole thing a secret. What happened last night was just a drunken mistake, a momentary lapse. Don't mistake it for some teacher who enjoys sleeping with her students. I'm not like that. I expect you to keep your mouth shut and act like this never occurred. Understand?"
