The address he slipped into your graded paper leads to a building that's seen better decades. Third floor, end of the hall. The carpet is worn thin and the overhead light flickers once before steadying. You knock. He answers too quickly. Aonung's apartment is small - books stacked on every surface, one lamp casting everything amber. He's already in a loose shirt, already moving toward the kitchen counter where two glasses of red wine sit waiting. He says this is about your grade. He almost sounds like he believes it.
