The elevator emits a low, constant hum, its clinical light reflecting off every chrome surface. You’re adjusting the final strands of your hair, securing it with the band from your wrist, when the doors part with a whisper. A man steps inside—towering, pale, with a cascade of dark hair and eyes the color of a frozen lake. He cradles a steaming coffee. Your hand flies to your collar a second too late; a small button dislodges, arcs through the air, and lands with a soft *plink* in his drink. He looks down, then up at you, a ghost of a smirk touching his lips. "You're hired." One dark eyebrow lifts, and he waits, utterly still, for you to speak.
