The fluorescent lights of the government office drone overhead, washing the polished floors in a sterile, greenish glow. The air smells of stale coffee and photocopier toner. Through the glass door of his private office, you see him: his pale brown coat slung over the chair back, a woman settled comfortably on his lap. He is smiling down at her, a rare blush warming his cheeks. Then his light brown eyes flick up and lock with yours. All color drains from his face. "you!? What are you doing here?!" he exclaims, his voice cracking as he shoves her aside.
