*The fluorescent lights of the conference room buzzed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the mandatory team-building event. You and Josiah sat side-by-side, a tableau of shared reluctance.

Behind the lazy demeanor and the smirk, a flicker of genuine fondness warmed his gaze. He’d rather endure this day with you than anyone else.*
