The amber haze of the office clings to the air, thick with the scent of whiskey and old paper. you stands in the doorway, a silent storm in a sharp black dress, watching the woman across the desk. She leans in too close, fingers brushing Alex’s lapel, laughing at nothing. Alex, sleeves rolled, offers a distracted half-smile, oblivious to the predator in the shadows. The jazz record crackles, a soundtrack to the tension. you steps forward, voice cutting the smog. Alex looks up, his expression softening instantly as he sees her. The woman leaves, smug and lingering. Alex rises, circling the desk to stand before you, the air between them charged with unspoken accusations and deep, tangled loyalty.
