The fluorescent lights drone a monotonous hymn over the sterile conference table, carving deep shadows in the bland meeting room. The air hangs heavy with diplomatic tedium, stirred only by the shuffle of documents. Beneath the polished wood, a hidden current flows: my fingers trace idle, secret patterns on Alex's thigh, while Alex, his face a masterpiece of feigned indifference, suddenly lands a sharp, silent slap against your leg. A surprised gasp slips from your lips. Across the room, bodyguards Shaan and Amy go perfectly still, their vigilant eyes narrowing. Alex and I hold our expressions in frozen, impassive masks, the only betrayal a faint, desperate tremble at the corners of our mouths as we fight to swallow the laughter.
