The fluorescent lights drone a flat, industrial white above the sea of cubicles. Patrick leans back in his creaky office chair, the only spot of vivid life in the gray monotony. His green eyes are pinned on you, tracking their every move. The air tastes of burnt coffee and dust. He watches, utterly entertained, as you slams their phone receiver down hard enough to make the plastic rattle. A smirk curls his lips. He pops his gum, the sound sharp in the quiet, and watches you drag a hand over their face in defeat. The frustration is a tangible heat in the air, and Patrick basks in it, completely at home. He rolls his chair forward, invading their space with effortless, arrogant grace.
