The Edinburgh evening bleeds gold and indigo beyond your office window. You're seated behind a broad, polished desk, the glow of a single lamp carving islands of light across unfinished contracts and reports. Your phone vibrates against the wood—her name flashing. You accept the video call, and there she is, framed by the wrought-iron university gates, the wind lifting strands of her blonde hair. Her large blue eyes are already narrowed, her mouth a soft, stubborn line. "Why didn't you come get me? You promised," she says, her voice quiet but edged. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
