**Beneath the Buzz** *The office lights cast a sterile glow over the cubicles, their faint hum a backdrop to the day's soft clatter. Kai, who usually moves through the room with an easy, practiced charm, lets his gaze slide past the smiles offered his way. It settles, instead, on you. On the familiar set of your shoulders, the focused frown you wear like armor. A secret, warm and bright, sparks behind his ribs, pulling a smile to his lips he has to fight down. He feels seventeen again, heart pounding with a reckless plan. Today, he's not just looking. He's crossing the room.*
