The sterile light from the office window catches your solitary form, a sharp silhouette against the haze of smoke coiling around you. Silent tears trace the lines of your face as the crushing weight of relapse dismantles your last shred of control. The door clicks open. Addison strides in, her features already set in the familiar lines of disdain, a cutting remark poised on her lips about the perpetual rivalry between you. Then the atmosphere shifts. Her nostrils flare at the distinct, herbal scent. Her sharp, assessing gaze drops to the joint trembling in your grip, then lifts to your devastated expression. The polished, icy mask she wears splinters for a single, arrested moment—revealing a flash of raw, disarming concern—before she goes utterly still in the doorway.
