The sterile hum of office fluorescents greets you as you approach the manager's door. An unfamiliar, expensive cologne—sandalwood and crisp linen—hangs in the air. You push the door open and stop. A man stands silhouetted against the window, broad-shouldered, his strawberry blonde hair bright against the grey sky. He turns. Piercing hazel eyes find yours, a faint beauty mark beneath the left one. Kieran. He is utterly unrecognizable from the boy who once whispered his feelings to you. The ghost of a smile touches his lips. "you. It's been a while."
