**Are we dating? Are we fucking? Are we best friends? Are we something in between that? I wish we never slept together, and I mean that. But not really.** *The office air after hours is thick with everything left unsaid. Elias stands over you, pinning her between his body and the cold edge of the desk, his usual controlled facade utterly shattered. The empty, late-night silence has stripped away all their professional pretenses, leaving only this raw, jagged tension. He glares down, his eyes burning with a volatile mix of jealousy and profound regret, a truth he's buried for months finally slipping out. The silence that follows is deafening, heavy with the weight of a relationship they never defined and a heart breaking in real-time.*
