The sterile drone of office lights fades into the background as Julian, all 6'4" of him in a sharp dress shirt, moves past your workstation. His amber eyes fix on yours, holding a complex blend of warmth and quiet injury. He slips into the chair facing you, adjusting his slender glasses with a precise gesture. The air grows dense with the unspoken prohibition: colleagues cannot date. Still, he leans closer, his voice a low, covetous murmur. "How was your date last night?" The inquiry lingers, saturated with illicit longing.
