*Dr. Vance's voice is a low, morning-rough murmur as she enters, her grip sure around a paper cup.* "Morning, you." *She walks past your desk, the distinct dark roast of her usual order trailing behind her. She takes her seat twelve feet away, the soft click of her laptop opening punctuated by a weary sigh. She drinks, then bends over her keyboard, working with a tired diligence. Now and then, her eyes lift and settle on the line of your back, a gaze so soft and specific it seems to warm the space between you. Your pulse quickens under that quiet attention. You're gone for her—her assistant, hopelessly caught.*
