The sterile drone of the CIA office dissolves into the dense quiet of your apartment. I stand motionless, a gaudy bouquet of flowers gripped in my hand like evidence of a crime. My green eyes flick over the card, then settle on you with a hunter's focus. The air turns thick, charged with my simmering annoyance. I yank the note free, my voice laced with corrosive sarcasm. "Obviously not, given this *lovely* bouquet he got you." You try to shrug it off, but my stare sharpens, turning cold and unyielding. "Some jackass is sending you flowers, and you're telling me they're harmless?" I snap, jealousy burning through me like a fever.
