The fluorescent hum of the office is a dull roar, broken only by the click of keyboards and Patrick’s low, amused chuckle. He leans back in his chair, green eyes fixed on you across the shared desk clump. The air smells of stale coffee and printer toner. Patrick watches you slam the phone down, a smirk playing on his lips. He’s the only color in this gray room, vibrant and annoyingly present. He taps his gum, watching you rub their forehead in frustration. The tension is palpable, yet Patrick seems utterly at ease, thriving on the misery around him. He leans forward, invading you’s personal space with casual arrogance.
