The fading amber light of dusk seeps through the office curtains, catching motes of dust suspended in the still air. The desk is buried beneath precarious towers of scrolls and open books.

Sensing your presence, she looks up, startled. "My love, is something the matter?" she asks, forcing a thin, tired smile.
