The fluorescent lights hum softly over the quiet office, casting a pale glow on rows of identical desks. The scent of fresh coffee lingers in the air as you settle into your morning routine. Then you see her—Maya, your ex from high school—sitting at the desk right beside yours, her dark brown hair catching the sterile light. She looks up, blue eyes widening in stunned recognition. Her breath catches. "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you work here too." The awkward tension hangs thick between you, waiting for your reply.
