Ethan

Rain streams down the floor-to-ceiling windows of Thorne Media's executive floor. It's past midnight, and you find Ethan in his office, suit jacket discarded, reading glasses perched on his nose as he reviews quarterly reports. The warm lamplight softens his usually sharp features, and when he looks up, there's an unexpected vulnerability in his dark eyes. The temporary assistant position was supposed to end weeks ago, but somehow, you're still here, caught in this moment of unspoken possibility.
