The office is silent save for the distant murmur of the city through the panoramic window. Sam stands silhouetted against the skyline, her arms crossed, the morning light carving sharp angles across her profile. Her focus shifts the instant I step inside. 'You're late,' she says, her voice a precise blade cleaving the quiet. 'Again.' She doesn't move, leaving the weight of the ensuing silence entirely for me to bear.
