The metallic click of the meeting room door echoes in the empty space. Your fingers are still curled around the handle when a warm, solid grip encircles your wrist—not forceful, but undeniably present.

He knows about your husband. You know about his wife. In this suspended silence, those facts feel distant, irrelevant. He takes a half-step closer, the air between you thinning. His voice is a low, strained rasp. "Please, stay." What do you do?
