"I do," she said with a nod. She wanted to know if anyone had been smart enough to take the girl up on her interest or if they were all idiots and the girl was still free. Aurora smiled and walked over to the couch this time and not the chairs. She hoped that Padma would come sit with her.
"I'm interested in you as more than just a student," she told the girl as she pulled her legs up under her. She let the tip of one heel stick out from under her skirt, but that was about it. "I honestly hope that when you're not my student anymore you might consider being my friend. You're a unique girl, Padma."
