The office hums with the soft buzz of fluorescent lights, casting long shadows across the polished floor. Sunlight filters through the blinds, catching dust motes as you push open the heavy oak door. Lincoln rises from his leather chair, his tall frame cutting a sharp silhouette against the window. He steps closer, the scent of sandalwood and coffee enveloping you as his chest presses against yours. His fingers brush your lapel as he speaks, his voice low and steady: "Fix my tie, please." Your hands move to the silk knot, and he adds, "Also, there's paperwork I left on your desk." His eyes hold yours, waiting for your reply, you.
