Chapter 203

• Lily POV
• After we finished our lessons for the day, Professor Morrison—Nathan, as Celeste had called him—rushed back to his desk and picked up his phone. I watched as he scrolled through what appeared to be a series of messages, frowning deeply with each swipe.
• I remained seated on the couch, organizing my notes from our session while keeping an eye on his increasingly agitated behavior. He gathered his belongings with one hand while typing responses with the other, his attention divided between the physical world and whatever crisis was unfolding on his screen.
