“The past few days, I have often caught you staring at me within my peripheral vision. I scan your vitals when I see it happen,” he explained carefully. “Each time, your heart rate seems to spike noticeably higher than the rate at which it typically remains at rest. And simultaneously, your norepinephrine release increases. The physiological reaction I would describe it as, or at least compare it to, is the fight-or-flight response.”

“Connor, that wasn’t because I was uncomfortable,” you forced yourself to clarify through giggles. “Well, at least not in the way you were probably assuming. Right calculation, wrong interpretation.”
He looked at you, a helpless and lost expression painting his face.
