This is a short read but quite an intriguing and engaging story. Donna has a crush on Jack Shepherd, her tutor, and during his lessons daydreams and fantasizes about him. Jack has feelings for Donna too, but is he prepared to jeopardize his career for her? Nevertheless, fate finds a way to bring the two together.
When Jack Shepherd speaks, Donna can barely focus on what he is saying, too busy staring at him and daydreaming. Today was the day; but could Donna even do it, should she do it and why did she feel excited. Having spent weeks psyching herself up, if she didn’t do something now it would be too late; she is in her third year of an English degree and after graduation she would never see Jack again. What little exhibitionist streak Donna had she kept strictly under wraps; there is nothing wrong with fantasizing, but the thought of actually doing anything terrifies her. Jack finds it so difficult not to look at Donna. In all his nine years working as a professional, he has never had a crush on a single student, not wishing to risk his career. But Jack never forgot the first time he saw Donna; all he could do was stare at her. He had never felt like that about anyone before, and especially someone almost 20-years younger than him. Jack couldn’t help himself that first time; it was a mistake, not one he made again. Instead he made a vow, one that he kept through the first and second year; he has to avoid Donna and pretend she doesn’t exist. Donna wonders if Jack knows what she has planned. Everything changes the minute a spider comes into the lecture hall. When Jack arranges a private tutorial with Donna he wonders if it is a mistake; is his mind playing tricks on him. Can she really feel something for him too and where will this lead them? There are some extra twists and turns to make this an interesting story and one I enjoyed reading.
