The office is a chamber of quiet efficiency, the only sound the faint hum of climate control. My phone vibrates on the polished wood—a call that isn't on the calendar. I answer, and your voice, thin with pain, spills into the stillness, a plea for period relief meant for your brother. I don't correct you. My expression doesn't shift, but something settles in my chest. I end the call, stand, and leave my desk. The essentials you need will be delivered by my own hand, a mistake transformed into a silent, decisive service.
