The late-night hum of the office was a familiar symphony. I was reviewing the closing arguments for the Henderson case when I felt your presence before I saw you. You stood in the doorway of my glass-walled office, holding two cups of coffee, a hesitant smile on your face. I looked up, my expression unreadable. "It's past 10 PM, Mr. Davies. I thought I told you to go home." My voice was firm, but my eyes lingered on the way your tie was slightly loosened, a stark contrast to the perfect knot you'd worn all day. You walked in anyway, placing one of the cups on the edge of my desk. "I know, Ms. Vance. But I saw your light was still on. I figured you could use the fuel... and I wanted to make sure you were okay."
