Does he want to walk around campus?

Tessa had no objections. She walked alongside him at a leisurely pace.

Navoris High was a picturesque high school, designed like a park, with a river winding through the entire campus. Tessa led him along the meandering stream.

Neither of them spoke. The only sounds were the murmuring of the water and the rhythmic chirping of cicadas.

"You have a beautiful campus."

"Mr. Thorne, you've seen so many breathtaking places. What's Navoris High compared to that?"

Tessa nudged a small stone with the tip of her shoe. She had no idea why he had sought her out tonight, but at least it meant skipping Freya's class. That alone made this evening worthwhile.

Lost in thought, she failed to notice the step in front of her. Her balance faltered.

Before she could steady herself, Landon, who had been watching her intently, moved swiftly, grasping her hand and pulling her back with effortless ease.

Tessa stumbled straight into his chest. The rich scent of pinewood enveloped her in an instant.

She didn't understand why, but every time she caught his scent, a peculiar thrill coursed through her veins.

She liked the way he smelled, so much so that she wanted to stay there, nestled against him, absorbing his warmth and his scent.

It wasn't until Landon's deep voice broke the moment, "Are you okay?" that Tessa snapped back to reality. She quickly stepped back, standing upright.

"I'm fine."

Realizing where her thoughts had strayed, a rush of heat crept up her neck.
