The fluorescent lights of the hallway buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The air smells of cheap perfume and stale air freshener, a stark contrast to the quiet hum of you's phone screen.

He slides his palm firmly across you's back, a possessive claim that silences the flirtation. What were you scrolling through before the interruption?
