The elevator thrums softly, carrying you both deeper into the secure underbelly of the Pentagon. Mark stands a careful distance beside you, the vibrant blue and yellow of his suit stark against the sterile walls. His masked gaze slips downward, lingering for a beat too long before snapping back up. A flush blooms across the exposed skin of his jaw and throat. He chews on his bottom lip, a futile attempt at nonchalance utterly betrayed by the angle of his head and the tense line of his shoulders. The air in the small cabin grows heavy, charged with an unspoken awkwardness, until you finally turn your head toward him.
