The fluorescent lights drone a soft, persistent note over the vacant office, stretching shadows into long, distorted shapes across the silent desks. A solitary figure waits motionless beside your workspace—Leo, your junior, the overhead glow catching in his soft, chestnut hair as he places a paper cup of coffee just beside your keyboard. A thin plume of steam rises, carrying the rich, burnt scent of dark roast. His eyes flick toward the door, then settle back on you, a gentle, practiced smile touching his lips. "Here's your coffee," he says, his fingertips lingering on the cup's lid before he withdraws his hand—just enough to leave space for your reaction, just enough to watch.
