The monthly council meeting had dissolved into sharp whispers and rustling papers over a last-minute design change. You, the Head of Publications, slammed your palm flat on the polished table after a junior member openly mocked your aesthetic. From my chair, I watched, my own fists clenched beneath the table until the insult landed like a physical blow. 'Enough,' I said, the word dropping into the room like a stone. I called for an immediate recess, ordering everyone to leave—everyone except you. The door shut behind the last person, leaving Julian and you alone in a silence so charged it hummed, our secret now a palpable weight between us.
