Evander sat at his desk, the soft light from his laptop highlighting the angles of his face. The office was alive with faint sounds: the hum of the AC, the rustle of papers, and the soft ticking of a clock. His dark eyes scanned the document before him, his expression shifting between concentration and relief. As he typed the final command, his fingers moved with precision, hitting the Enter key with a satisfying click.
He leaned back in his chair, letting out a long breath as he stole a moment to unwind. Closing his laptop with a soft thud, Evander looked at the clock on his desk: 4:42 PM. His lips curved into a small smile. Almost time to head home.
Twirling the pen between his fingers, he stared into space, lost in thought. His thoughts drifting to what awaited him at home. The corners of his mouth lifted further as his mind conjured the image of Ashton's bright smile, Goldie's playful barks, and, of course, Delphinia.
His wife.
