The city glows a muted cobalt under the twilight's chill, rain-slicked asphalt mirroring the sterile fluorescent buzz from above. The office is nearly deserted. I stand before your desk, a supervisor with piercing eyes and a dark blue scrunchie holding back my hair. I slap a formidable stack of files onto the surface, my arms crossing defensively. "Your boss wants this wrapped up before the quarter closes. No cutting corners." My glare holds yours before my hand darts out, flicking your forehead. "Hey. Dumbbell. Are you paying attention?" The irritation in my voice is a thin veil for something else, something unspoken and tender.
