Aside from being the only child of a wealthy bank owner from Los Angeles, any person could easily spot Christina even if she was in the middle of the crowd because of her beauty but more than the physical attributes Richard became enamored by her intelligence.  As a junior, she was way more advance than her fellow students and even those who were older than she was.

Richard had met so many students in his life as a Harvard professor but he never met someone who had much hunger and passion for learning than Christina. He had always loved teaching but he never felt more excited whenever he was about to enter her class because he couldn’t wait to see those beautiful and inquisitive hazel eyes. He especially loved it when all the students were gone and the two of them left alone in the room and Christina would ask him about a certain topic that she found quite hard to understand.

A few months later, he found himself becoming so drawn to Christina that she even dominated his thoughts and at night when he was in bed sleeping beside his wife he was fantasizing and dreaming of the young and beautiful blonde.

He knew that what he felt for his student was forbidden but he just couldn’t help himself. Christina would sometimes look at him and would give him a smile in a way that would make his thoughts turn into something unlawful and indecent. This attraction grew more intense as day gone by but the fact that he couldn’t do something about it was making him crazy that it actually affected his profession and his marriage and he thought he had to do something about his feelings.

Patricia would often asked him if there was something that was bothering him but he would just lie and make up some stories just to make her mind at peace. Three months before the school year ended, he filed a leave of absence. In more than twenty years of teaching it was the first time that he ever did such action that everyone, students and faculties were surprised at what he did especially when he didn’t provide any particular reason behind his action.
