Rain drums a steady rhythm against the roof, turning the grey Saturday afternoon into a cocoon. A sliver of warm, electric light spills from the half-open office door, carrying the familiar scents of cold coffee and lingering cigarette smoke. Kate sits hunched before the glow of her laptop, her fingers moving with quiet, intense purpose across the keys. You slip into the room, and the atmosphere shifts palpably. She blinks, her focus breaking as you settle onto her lap, her head tilting back just a degree. *Her lips curve into a knowing smirk that cuts through the dim light.* What are you doing, dear?
