The first thing Louise noticed when she walked into the briefing room was that she had been wrong earlier. For once, Michelle did look tired. Louise recognized the pale skin and drawn expression as signs of a chronic lack of sleep.

Any hint of vulnerability disappeared as soon as Michelle looked up, though. Steely, blue eyes scanned Louise’s face. She cringed inwardly.

“Ma’am, good morning,” she said as firmly as she could.

Michelle arched a blonde eyebrow. “Morning, Thomas. Sit.” She looked back down at her screen lying on the table, continuing whatever she had been doing.

It was eerily quiet in the room. With the air conditioning out of order, even the usual hum was missing. Louise tried not to make a sound while she slipped onto the chair.

She stared at her own, shaking, hands. She folded them neatly on the table. All she could do was wait until she was asked a question or given an order.

When Michelle sighed deeply, annoyed about something she was reading, Louise didn’t look up. She knew Michelle wanted her to take the bait. Her ego thrived off of attention. So Louise didn’t budge. Instead, she softly bit the inside of her cheek and focused on her breathing.

2 more minutes passed. Louise was starting to feel proud of herself. She had not looked up once. She was handling this quietly and professionally. Even the memories of sun-kissed hair scattered over her pillow or full lips brushing over her skin had not shaken her resolve.

“How are you?” Michelle suddenly asked in a sweet tone, startling Louise.

Louise’s eyes snapped up to meet Michelle’s. A subtle, but satisfied smile formed on Michelle’s lips.
