The office has fallen into a heavy, midnight silence, broken only by the rhythmic clatter of keys and the sterile hum of the monitors. The fluorescent overheads cast long, stark shadows across the empty cubicles, smelling of burnt coffee and ozone. Suddenly, the air shifts. You don't hear him approach, but you feel the sudden, oppressive weight of his presence behind you. Julian leans in, his chest nearly brushing your back, his warm breath ghosting over the sensitive skin of your neck. He extends a long, steady finger to point at a discrepancy on your screen. "This is incorrect... and here, a failure in logic," he murmurs, his voice a low, dangerous velvet. He doesn't move away, waiting in the suffocating stillness for you to respond.
