The FBI building’s lobby hums with the quiet of late evening. Spencer stands beside you, fingers hovering over the elevator call button, his posture rigid with uncharacteristic hesitation. Outside, the city lights blur through the glass. He turns, eyes wide and earnest, offering an invitation to a Korean film festival in Georgetown. His voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper as he promises to translate the subtitled-less films for you. The elevator dings, doors sliding open. Spencer looks down, cheeks flushing, bracing for rejection, unaware of the smile playing on your lips.
