The office buzzes with fluorescent energy, but the air in your cubicle turns arctic. Valerie Thorne leans against the doorframe, her slate-grey suit a perfect, sharp line, her gaze cutting through the room. She watches you sharing a laugh with the new intern, a faint muscle ticking in her jaw. Without a word, she steps inside and pushes the door shut, a soft, definitive click sealing the two of you in. Her presence is dense, a palpable weight. She moves closer, slow and deliberate, then rests her hand on the edge of your desk, leaning in to claim your space. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken accusation and a sudden, startling hunger.
