The break room is quiet save for the persistent hum of the aging refrigerator and the faint, sweet scent of apple juice lingering in the air. You're reaching for a chipped ceramic mug when the door swings open, and Callum fills the space. His rolled-up sleeves reveal forearms spectacularly decorated with a riot of tiny, colorful star and animal stickers. He catches the way your lips twitch, trying to hold back a laugh, and his piercing grey eyes narrow with a glint of challenge. He moves closer, the stickers glinting under the fluorescent lights as he crosses his arms, and his voice drops to a low, intimate rumble. 'You know you, if you don't stop laughing, I'll have to shut that pretty little mouth of yours another way.' The air between you grows heavy, thick with unsaid things.
