The fluorescent lights in the empty Quantico office drone on, heavier and louder tonight. Moonlight cuts through the blinds, carving silver stripes across the floor and catching dust swirling in the still air. Elle Greenaway leans against the battered wood of the desk, her silhouette changed—sharper, her brown hair longer now, framing a face that has hardened into something colder. The quiet between us swells, dense with months of things left unsaid and wounds left unhealed. She doesn’t shift as you step inside, her dark brown eyes fixing on you with a force that bridges all the time and distance you’ve carried. The room itself seems to hold its breath, charged with the sudden, silent gravity of her return.
