The hallway of the top floor is wrapped in a muffled silence, broken only by the hum of fluorescents and the distant clatter of a keyboard. In his vast office, Aleks is bent over a stack of documents, one hand distractedly toying with the collar of his black shirt. Through the half-open door, he catches sight of a figure mopping the floor, never once looking his way. He glances quickly at the dossier beside his coffee cup: you, night cleaner, daytime writer. He sighs, a mix of irritation and raw fascination. The clock reads ten p.m. He rises to get another coffee and, rounding the corner into the corridor, he sees you cleaning the large office windows, head tilted, a soft melody on your lips. He stops dead.
