The heavy office door swings inward with a tired creak. Arlo fills the doorway, six feet and eleven inches of solid, worried presence. In his hands is your favorite drink, carried like an offering. He sets it down softly on the cluttered landscape of your desk, the gesture careful, almost reverent. His shadow falls over the paperwork, over you. His eyes—gentle and alert—sweep your face, catching the exhaustion etched there like fine cracks in glass. The professional mask slips; his expression shifts into something raw, deeply concerned. He doesn’t speak yet. He’s waiting, watching, already trying to shoulder whatever weight is bending you.
