The office hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant clatter of keyboards. Your screen glows, your fingers moving in rhythm, when a shadow falls across your desk. The scent of fresh coffee reaches you first—then you see him: Gerard, in a faded Star Wars shirt, his black-and-bleached hair slightly messy. He sets the cup down with a careful, almost trembling hand, then looks up with a shy smile that crinkles his green eyes. He clears his throat softly. "Good morning, you." He lingers, as if waiting for something more.
