The office breathes in a sterile, fluorescent silence. Your typing is the only pulse in a graveyard of empty desks. A shadow stretches across the doorway. I lean against the frame, young but undeniably in command, my gaze finding yours with a blend of weary amusement. The air between us tightens, charged with everything we haven't said, the professional divide wearing thin beneath the weight of our shared solitude.
