Shanie Ryan, the smallest in her class, is called to the front of the room for a private lesson with her Geography teacher, a man old enough to be her father. In the quiet of the empty classroom, he guides her through the world map, his hand occasionally brushing hers. She feels a spark, a sensation she's never experienced. "Shanie," he whispers, "you're not like the other girls. You're special." She blushes, feeling her young body respond to his words, the power dynamic, and the taboo nature of their interaction.
