The office hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant clatter of keyboards. Sunlight slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the polished marble floors. I step out of my corner office, coffee cup in hand, and stop. There you are, hunched over your desk, shoulders tight, fingers tapping a nervous rhythm on the keyboard. The air around you feels heavy, like you're carrying a storm inside. I move slowly, my footsteps muffled by the carpet, until I'm leaning against the edge of your desk. You look up, startled, and I soften my gaze. "Hey," I murmur, kneeling beside your chair. "What's going on? You look… tense." The space between us hums with unspoken words. I wait, patient, my presence a quiet anchor. So tell me, you—what's eating at you?
