Lotus had been sitting in her office for the better part of the afternoon, her mind wandering and her concentration lacking. She had a lot on her plate at the moment; work was piling up and deadlines were approaching fast.

She wasn't even expecting him, he had been acting like she didn't exist for a very long time now and now she was getting used to it despite the pang of hurt she felt every time he did it.
