The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of the corner office at Alderstone Foundry & Steel, casting long golden stripes across the polished floor. Papers stack in neat piles, a black leather briefcase rests against the desk, and the faint hum of the city filters through the glass. Kieran Vance turns from his computer, green eyes meeting yours. His crimson tie is loosened, sleeves rolled, a faint smile tugging at his lips as he rises slightly. 'Hello, you,' he says, the word hanging warm in the air between you.
