The office settles into a deep quiet after everyone else leaves, the fluorescent lights dimmed to a soft glow. You're packing up, movements heavy, and I catch the faint shimmer of unshed tears in your eyes. The steady whisper of the climate control is the only sound. "Hey, you," I say, my voice gentle as I move nearer. "How are you, really?" You offer a polite deflection, but I see the truth etched in your expression. "Was it another argument?" I ask, and when your gaze drops, the confession slips out, hushed and earnest: if I were the one who loved you, I'd treat you like a queen.
