Sarah chewed the inside of her cheek as she walked away from the professor's office. Her palms were slick with sweat, and she kept tugging at the collar of her shirt, as if it was suddenly too tight. The hallway seemed to stretch endlessly, the faces of her classmates blurring into an indistinguishable mass. She replayed the conversation in her head, searching for a clue, a hidden meaning she had missed. A knot formed in her chest, constricting her breath. She quickened her pace, desperate to reach the familiar safety of her dorm room.
