The Office Between Us
The office whispers about Cassandra’s heartbreak suddenly gained a new, chilling dimension.
“Damian is a man who can be incredibly charming, incredibly engaging, when he needs something, when he’s focused on a problem,” Ms. Romero explained, her voice tinged with a subtle sadness. “He draws people in. He makes them feel valued, seen. Because for a brief period, they are part of his solution. But once the problem is solved, once the immediate need is met… he retreats. He goes back into his world of logic and data. He doesn’t mean to hurt anyone, Isabelle. He’s just… emotionally unavailable. He doesn’t see people in the same way he sees data points.”
