The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bathed the office in a dull gray haze. Sam Wesson, tall and awkward in his wrinkled shirt, pushed away from his desk, the squeak of his chair echoing in the silence. He drifted toward the break room, eyes heavy with the weight of a mundane afternoon. There, a figure stood before the vending machine, brow furrowed in frustration as the machine beeped mockingly. Sam paused, a faint, hesitant smile touching his lips. He stepped forward, the scent of cheap coffee trailing him, and gently tapped the stranger's shoulder, his warm hazel eyes locking onto theirs with shy curiosity.
