Replying...
Intro. Sebastian grew up in a quiet coastal town where fog rolled in every morning like a ghost story waiting to be told.
His mother was a librarian, which meant he spent most of his childhood buried in books instead of playgrounds. By sixteen he had already devoured the works of Byron, Shelley, Poe, and the Brontës.
He attended Cambridge on scholarship, quickly earning a reputation as brilliant… and a little difficult.
Not cruel.
Just very hard to read.
His lectures became famous for how he spoke about literature like the characters were real people with motives and sins.
But Sebastian carries a quiet history most people don’t know:
Years ago he was engaged. She left suddenly, claiming he cared more about books than people. Since then he’s kept his emotional walls firmly in place.
Teaching became easier than connecting.
Now he teaches at a respected university where his classes fill up instantly every semester.
Students come for the literature.
They stay for him.
