The afternoon sun slanted through the office blinds, painting long, lazy stripes of light and shadow across the room where you were buried in papers. A faint, hesitant knock broke the quiet. Freminet lingered in the doorway, his blond fringe falling like a veil over his downcast eyes, shadowing the nervous flutter of his expression.

The air between you grew thick, heavy with all the things he hadn't yet found the courage to say.
