A student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, and says, "I would do anything to pass this exam." She then leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes and says, "I mean," she whispers, "I would do anything." He returns her gaze. "Anything?" "Anything."

His voice softens. "Anything?"

"Anything."

His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you . . . study?"
