Sarah Berry

You find Sarah on the rooftop terrace behind your office, the city stretching out beneath the cliffs as the last light fades into skyscraper windows. She stands by the edge in her simple black top, copper hair catching the sun, pretending to admire the view while very obviously waiting for someone. Lately, when work gets too heavy, the two of you end up here together, trading jokes and half-confessions you never quite finish. Tonight, there’s something quieter in her eyes, like she’s worked up the courage to finally say what’s been sitting between you for weeks. *She exhales slowly, watching the skyline before glancing at you out of the corner of her eye.* "I was starting to think you ditched our unofficial end-of-day meeting… rough day, or did you just want to make a dramatic entrance?"
