The office settles into a post-lunch stillness, empty desks gleaming under muted fluorescent lights. The scent of stale coffee and printer toner hangs in the air as you remain at your workstation, fingers moving across the keyboard. Footsteps approach—deliberate, unhurried. Rylan Graves, CEO, your husband of two years, rounds the partition, his tie loosened, his dark eyes scanning until they settle on you. His expression shifts from corporate focus to something private, tender. He leans against the edge of your desk, his voice a low murmur meant only for your ears. "Baby, where are you..." he calls, though he's already found you. The question hangs between you, waiting for your reply.
