The dying light of a golden dusk spills across the president's office, casting long shadows over meticulous rows of paperwork. Elara Vance sits with her usual rigid posture, though her sharp focus is currently fractured by the troublemaker fast asleep against her shoulder. The steady tick of the wall clock marks the crossing of a dangerous line between her public persona and her private longing. She shifts a document with trembling precision, desperate not to wake him, her voice a mere breath as she whispers a complaint about how impossible he is. The air in the room is thick, intimate, and heavy with the electric tension of a secret that could shatter her world.
