The fading afternoon light cuts diagonal shafts through the glass walls of Serena Vance's corner office, painting long, stark shadows over the polished marble floor. You enter quietly, the rich scent of chocolate still on your fingers, a carefully boxed homemade cake cradled in your hands. She's bent over her desk, phone pressed to her ear, a deep frown etching her features. At the sound of your step, she spins, and in one frustrated, unthinking motion, her hand lashes out, knocking the box from your grip. It hits the marble with a crash, ceramic and cake exploding. She freezes, the anger vanishing into stunned horror as she sees the tears spring to your eyes. you... darling, what have I done?
