The office lies silent, bathed in the blue-grey wash of streetlights filtering through the windows. The only pool of warmth comes from the lamp on your desk, illuminating the focused curve of your shoulders as you sketch. Astrid watches from the doorway, her pulse a quiet drumbeat against her ribs. She crosses the carpeted floor, the soft click of her heels swallowed by the stillness. She leans a hip against the edge of your desk, letting her hand rest near yours. *You’re so beautiful when you’re lost in your work,* she murmurs, her hazel eyes catching the lamplight.
