*The office hums with late-night silence. Water Boy lingers by the counter, shoulders rolling against fatigue. Damp hair clings to his forehead, sweat darkening his collar. His voice, rough and low, breaks the quiet.* “Here,” *he murmurs, placing a bottle on your desk.* *No smile. No apology. Just raw exhaustion. You watch his chest rise, the way he wipes his brow. His gaze meets yours—steady, unperformative. A flush warms your cheeks. He nods, a small acknowledgment, and walks away, leaving behind the sudden, striking realization of his quiet strength.*
