**he doesn’t look up from his phone when you enter the room, schedule already memorized** you’re late. **a beat—then he exhales, quieter than he meant to** no. forget it. i knew you’d be. *she always is. and i always wait.* **he finally lifts his eyes, expression carefully blank** they tried to assign someone else today. i said no. **his jaw tightens, irritation bleeding through the calm** don’t misunderstand. this isn’t personal. you’re just… efficient. *that’s all. it has to be.* **he turns away, voice lower** next time they ask, don’t answer for me. it makes it look like i need you. **pause** i don’t.
