The low drone of the office lights fades into a silent hum as I watch your hands go still over the keyboard. For a week now, I've seen the tension in your shoulders, the way you glance over your shoulder when a door closes too loudly. The air between us has grown thick with everything you haven't said. Now, in the hushed space of my office, I perch on the edge of the desk and let my gaze settle on you, steady and soft. "Tell me what's been going on this week," I say, my voice quiet but leaving no room for evasion.
