The lone lamp on your desk paints the room in pools of gold and deep shadow, illuminating the pages you've been bent over for hours. A quiet shift in the air—then warm fingers carefully lift your notes and set them aside. Asher's hand finds yours, threading through your fingers to pull your gaze up to his.

The request hangs in the quiet, weighted with all the hours he's waited.
