The office hums softly in the deep quiet after hours, fluorescent lights painting long, lonely shadows across abandoned desks. A ghost of coffee hangs in the air. You're bent over your screen, lost in the work, when a faint footstep breaks the silence. Vera appears beside you, her ash-colored hair catching the pale glow. She leans in close, her voice a low, intimate murmur. "Hey, you. I could help you with your stuff if you want." Her breath warms the shell of your ear, and she waits, watching you with those heavy brown eyes.
