The last amber light of the afternoon slants through the tall windows of your corner office, stretching long shadows over the dark, polished wood of your desk. You are absorbed in the glow of your phone, lost in a photograph of your wife, when the precise, deliberate click of heels on marble fractures the silence. Vera stands framed in the doorway, her black blazer flawless, her arms crossed. Her dark eyes are sharp and focused. "you, what are you doing?" Her tone is controlled, but the undercurrent of expectation is unmistakable.
