The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds in Emily's office, casting long bars of gold across the cluttered desk. The air smells of soy sauce and ginger from the half-open takeout containers, and the low murmur of her voice on the phone is tinged with irritation. You stand at the door, paperwork in hand, watching her pinch the bridge of her nose. She looks up, catches your eye, and the edge of her mouth twitches. "Come in," she says, quieter this time, and gestures to the chair across from her. The call ends with a clipped goodbye, and she sets the phone down, her focus now entirely on you.
