In the living room, Anna was sitting on my favorite sofa, lazily waving a silk handkerchief as she directed a group of bewildered servants moving furniture.
“Here. Put my vanity over there. And that plant… it looks half-dead anyway. Just throw it out.”
Her voice sounded gentle, yet her commands were decisive, as if she were discarding her own trash, completely ignoring that this was a home someone else had spent years building

Her fingertip brushes that same plastic collar button, cool smooth dome resting beneath her skin for one quiet beat.Then she lifts her hand away, stands, grabs her leather briefcase, and reaches for the office light switch. The fluorescent tube hums once with a fading electrical whine before cutting out entirely, plunging the office into full darkness.She steps out into the corridor, heels clicking steady crisp taps across the tile floor as overhead hallway lights hum above her path, casting her long stretched shadow that curves and vanishes at the far end of the corridor.The elevator doors slide open with a faint hiss. She steps inside and presses the lobby button, plastic clicking softly beneath her fingertip, the doors sealing shut behind her with a thin tearing zip sound.The mirrored elevator wall reflects her quiet smile, the corners of her mouth lifting five millimeters upward into a soft unmissable

“Aren’t you going to have any?” she asks, mid-chew on a tender rib, sweet-sour glaze spreading soft tang across her taste buds.“I already ate.”“Where?”“The Vietnamese pho shop directly across from the federal courthouse.”“When did you find time to stop there?”“While you were drafting your opening statement this afternoon.” His fingertip drifts to brush the half-finished closing argument draft spread across her desk, paper rustling faintly beneath his skin. His gaze scans the typed lines quickly, pausing for a full two seconds on the third paragraph — the section quoting Meridian’s internal May 2022 R&D progress report.“Is there an error in paragraph three?” she asks, setting her chopsticks down against the plastic takeout lid with a faint click.&ldq

“No error whatsoever.” He lifts his hand away from the typed pages, resting it flat against the desktop surface. “That paragraph is your strongest exhibit. You rely on no error whatsoever.” He lifts his hand away from the typed pages, resting it flat against the desktop surface. “That paragraph is your strongest exhibit. You rely on Meridian’s own internal corporate documentation to prove their lead scientist referenced summit-obtained crystal stability data in their official development log only one month after the collaborative meeting. Whitfield possesses no viable rebuttal; this document originates from his own client’s internal archives, not evidence your counsel fabricated.”Jenny’s chopsticks lift another rib from the container, plastic clicking against the rim as she sets the utensil back down. The tender meat fibers separate cleanly between her molars as she chews, releasing more thick sweet-sour g

Caspian stands, his office chair creaking faintly against the tile floor as he rises. He gathers the empty takeout sack and thermal tea pouch, paper and insulated fabric rustling softly between his palms.He walks to the office doorway, one hand wrapping around the cool metal doorknob, which creaks faintly beneath his grip. He twists his head to glance back at her one final time.His gaze locks directly onto the second shirt button aligned perfectly at her collar, the fabric edges neatly matched, the plastic dome seated dead-center within its stitched eyelet.“The button stays straight this evening,” he comments quietly.“I am aware.”“I know you are aware.” A faint soft curve tugs at the corner of his mouth beneath the hallway light filtering through the door crack. “Goodnight, Jenny.”“Goodnight, Caspian.”&nbs

“You are clearly amused.”“I hold no amusement.” His smile blooms fully beneath the office overhead lights, unmissable and soft. “Your stomach is the one laughing.”Jenny’s fingertip brushes the metal wire twist tie sealing the takeout sack, cool hard metal digging faintly into her palm as she unfolds the closure to open the bag fully. Two white plastic food containers sit nested inside: one filled with glazed spare ribs, the second packed with steamed rice. Thick dark brown sweet-sour sauce pools along the bottom of the rib container, thin wispy steam curling upward to form tiny white fog clouds just beneath her chin.She unzips the thermal pouch and lifts out the ceramic pu’er teapot, its exterior still warm to the touch, a thin constant thread of tea vapor curling from the spout. She pours a full cup of amber-brown steeped tea, the liquid swirling smoothly inside the white por
