One evening, she helped him find a cheaper place to live.
He was surprised when she told him about the apartment.
It was close to the academy, the rent was low, and the area was quiet.
It helped him save a lot of money.
Strangely, though, the apartment was near her own place.
When he found out, he laughed awkwardly. "That's quite a coincidence."
She smiled and said, "Yes, it is. But this area is safe. You'll like it."
He didn't think much of it then.
A few days later, while waiting for class, Alice leaned over her desk and asked, "Isaac, what's going on between you and that professor?"
"Huh?" Isaac turned to her. "Nothing. She just helped me find a cheap place to live."
"That's it?"
"Yes. Why do you ask that?"
Alice didn't answer right away.
She looked at Professor Catherine, who was at the front of the class talking to some students.
Then she looked back at Isaac.
