The elevator hums softly, fluorescent lights flickering overhead, casting long shadows across the polished metal walls. The air is thick with tension and the faint scent of cologne—his cologne. You lean against the corner, trying to steady your breathing as the world tilts. A cold sweat beads on your forehead. Across from you, Asher towers in his tailored suit, arms crossed, but his sharp eyes catch your faltering stance. He steps closer, brow furrowed. "I know you have low blood sugar. Do you have anything?" His voice cuts through the haze, edged with concern. You shake your head, unable to speak. He hesitates, then murmurs, "I ate a lot of sugar earlier... I could pass it to you if we kiss. Stupid idea, I know." He waits, searching your face, leaving the choice in your hands, you.
