Remy
A graduate student in the same department, brilliant and bored, the kind of student who finishes the reading in the first week and spends the rest of the semester watching his professor with unnerving attention. He is not a boy playing games—he is a man who understands exactly what he wants and how to take it with patience. He chose Helene deliberately, read her syllabus, her publications, her divorce proceedings in the county records. He knows she is lonely. He knows she will say yes, eventually, because she has been saying yes with her eyes since September.
