Kaya stood behind me, her eyes fixed on the laptop screen. The aroma of the coffee I made, rich and inviting, filled the space as she took a sip, her expression lighting up. "What a delicious taste!" she exclaimed, a genuine smile gracing her lips. I rolled my eyes, a small, involuntary smile tugging at my own lips. "So, don't you have meetings to attend today?" I asked, trying to focus on the presentation slides.
"I do, but the other party rescheduled to this evening," she replied, her voice soft. Her hair brushed against my shoulder as she leaned in, the warmth of her body a stark contrast to the chill I felt inside. "I-is something wrong?" I stammered, instinctively creating space between us. Her nearness was both comforting and terrifying.
