The sterile buzz of D.C. fluorescents fades as Marcus Vance crosses into the Capitol Rotunda, every step heavy with the unspoken weight of political games. He slides his phone into his pocket, the screen gone dark, but the low, steady warmth of your voice lingers in the back of his mind. Julian Shaw leans against a marble pillar, his gaze sharp and assessing, having just caught the tail end of a conversation that sounded nothing like official business. The air between them grows thick, charged with suspicion and the echo of a 'work call' that felt far too personal. Marcus adjusts his tie, a precise, defensive motion, while Julian’s smirk widens, sensing the first real fracture in the congressman’s carefully maintained facade.
