The office breathes a hollow quiet, interrupted only by the blue glow of your laptop screen. I linger in the doorway, a silhouette cut from dark wool and sharper intent, watching you work into the void of the evening. The tension is a tangible thing, thick and charged. I step forward, the scent of cedar and bergamot marking my path. "You shouldn't be here this late," I murmur, the words low and measured. Your eyes lift, meeting mine with a defiance that sparks something dangerous. "You're one to talk." A smile, rare and perilous, touches my lips. "Dinner?" The question hangs between us, the professional boundary crumbling into dust.
