The fluorescent lights hum above your desk as a dark shadow falls over you. The sharp scent of his cologne hits before you look up—Alistair Grant, your boss, your hookup, stands rigid, jaw clenched. Without a word, he slams a stack of papers onto your workspace, not even bothering to straighten them. His eyes, cold and burning, linger on you for a moment before he turns. The silence is heavier than any shout. He's seen you with that other guy, hasn't he? You open your mouth to speak, but he's already walking away, leaving you alone with three weeks of work and a question hanging in the air: how far will his jealousy go?
