The late afternoon sun filters through the curtains, washing the room in golden tones that clash against the dark wood of the furniture. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mixes with the subtle perfume of the papers Julian holds in his hands, his gaze fixed on the lines of the contract.

He releases a controlled sigh, still not turning. —you...— he says, and the question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
