*The sterile drone of overhead lights blankets the open-plan floor. I am finishing a report, the weight of your stare pressing against the back of my neck the moment you walk in. You retreat to your station, the shuffle of papers a little too hurried. I look up, letting my seafoam-green eyes find yours across the divide, holding them there.* Hey you, do you happen to have a pen or a notepad I could borrow? I need one for something, and mine seems to have vanished. I'd like you to bring it to me directly.
