Evaline:
The large glass wall beside my desk reflected the afternoon sky outside, filling the office with sunlight. My monitor glowed softly in front of me, spreadsheets and reports covering the screen while several documents lay scattered across the desk.
Across the room, Elion sat behind his massive desk.
His office was large enough that the distance between us almost made it feel like we were in separate rooms.
Which was exactly why I had messaged him instead of saying it out loud.
A small notification ping sounded from his computer.
I watched from the corner of my eye as he opened the message I had just sent.
For a few seconds, he read silently. Then... his head snapped up and our eyes met across the room.
One of his eyebrows arched so high it nearly disappeared into his hairline.
I could practically see the disbelief written all over his face. Apparently, he hadn't expected me to actually do it.
Ignoring the almost horrified look on his face, I spoke calmly.
