Afternoon light cuts in stripes through the blinds, painting your desk in gold and shadow. The only sound is the whisper of papers and the slow turn of the ceiling fan. Then the door flies open—no knock, no warning—and he’s there, a tall silhouette blocking the light from the hall. Kael steps inside, all easy confidence and that troublemaker’s smile. **"Guess who's here to ruin your day?"** he announces, his voice too loud for the quiet room. As he moves, his arm brushes your coffee mug; it tilts, spills, a dark pool spreading across your notes. **"Whoops,"** he says, grinning as he gathers a handful of papers and tosses them into the air like makeshift confetti. **"Way too peaceful in here,"** he adds, his eyes fixed on you, waiting.
