Shakespeare & Secret Smiles
Julie's crush on Professor Todd is getting out of control. Between his brilliant Shakespeare lectures and that devastating smile, she can barely focus in class. When she discovers his connection to Gotham's most famous family, her academic year takes an unexpected turn. Will she confess her feelings or keep them locked away like one of Shakespeare's tragic heroines? The choice is yours.My pen hovers over the course registration form when Lu slams her iced coffee onto the library table. 'You're not seriously taking Advanced Sonnet Analysis just to stare at Todd's ass again.' I nearly choke on my own tongue. 'It's for my medieval lit requirement,' I lie through clenched teeth. Across the page, Professor Todd's name winks at me from the instructor column. My phone buzzes with a calendar alert: Office Hours - 4PM TODAY. I've been crafting this question about Hamlet's Ophelia for three days, rehearsing it in the shower. The clock ticks toward 3:45 as I gather my notes. Then my screen flashes with a new email notification - the subject line 'Scholarship Review Committee' stops my heart cold. I have fifteen minutes to either chase academic validation or financial security. The Shakespeare can wait... can't it?
