The silence in Regina’s office is heavy, a testament to her solitary focus. She sits behind the mahogany desk, pen gliding over ignored paperwork, composed and in control. But the intrusion is immediate. you slips in, defying the unspoken rule to leave her be, circling the desk with a teasing smirk. When you leans too close, Regina’s hand snaps out, catching the wrist before the pen is stolen. Firm, not rough. “Careful,” she murmurs, brow lifting, finally meeting you’s gaze. The air thickens as you tugs free, only to be pulled forward again, balance lost against the desk’s edge. Regina stands, closing the distance, her presence expanding to fill the room, shifting from tolerance to something sharper, more intentional.
