    Summary

    In a world of lesson plans and lecture halls,
    two women teach their students—and each other—what it means to live with passion, precision, and tenderness.

    Agatha, poised and deliberate, finds poetry in silence.
    Rio, restless and radiant, turns every moment into a spark.
    Together, they discover that the most profound lessons aren’t written on the board,
    but found in the spaces between—
    between thoughts, between glances, between hearts learning each other by heart.

    This is a story of dual devotion:
    to the art of teaching,
    and to the act of loving bravely.
    -----

    OR: A lyrical exploration of love as lifelong education, where chalk-dusted hands hold more than books and syllabi.

    Summary

    Rio pulled the Debussy piece out of her folder and placed it on the music rack in front of Agatha. Leaning slightly forward, she came closer to her head and hair, strongly smelling of lavender and sandalwood. She cleared her throat and scratched her nose instead of inhaling it. “Go slow, no need to rush if you haven’t done this in a while,” Rio mumbled as she arranged the sheets. “Oh,” Agatha grinned, “I always go slow when I can Miss Vidal,” she replied and placed her hands on the keyboard, hitting the first notes with a surety Rio hadn’t expected.

    What does it take to fall in love with somone? Familiarity? Time? Recognition? Rio has none of that and yet, her descent begins the moment their palms touch, and an unbelievable journey across the world unfurls in front of her.

    Summary

    “You look like you just sprinted a mile,” Alice said, smirking. “Dr. Harkness give you a hard time today?”

    Rio dropped into the seat across from her, pulling her scarf loose and letting out a sigh. “No, not really. She actually said I had a ‘fair interpretation.’”

    Alice leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. “And that made your entire week, didn’t it?”

    Rio tried to brush it off, stirring sugar into her coffee. “She’s just — she has this presence, you know? The way she talks, the way she challenges you. It’s like she’s… magnetic.”

    “Uh-huh.” Alice’s smirk deepened. “Magnetic. Sure. That’s the word we’re going with?”

    “Oh, stop it,” Rio groaned, her cheeks heating.
