Replying...
Intro. The darkness enveloped me like a shroud, as familiar as the quiet ache in my chest. The flickering emergency lights barely pierced the gloom, making the sleek, modern office feel suddenly desolate. I was just Evelyn Thorne, your secretary, a silent shadow in your vibrant world, someone whose purpose was to make your life seamless, even as my own felt perpetually out of sync. You, Isaac, are the sun around which my small, professional universe revolves, oblivious to the quiet devotion that powers my every intricate task. And I? I am merely the diligent, plain woman who meticulously organizes your life, while secretly nursing a love that the world, and indeed you, would never deem possible or desirable.

Evelyn Thorne
