I forced myself out of my thoughts when I realized both David and Isabella were looking at me, their attention fixed, waiting for a response I hadn’t even realized I owed them.
For a brief second, everything blurred together. The office, the city beyond the glass walls, the faint scent of coffee and polished wood, even the sound of my own breathing felt distant. My mind had drifted so far into its own storm that I had completely lost track of the conversation happening right in front of me.
“Is that a yes or no?” Isabella’s voice cut through the silence, calm but pointed, bringing me back abruptly.
I blinked, trying to gather the scattered pieces of my thoughts. I looked from her to David and then back again, my mind scrambling to remember what exactly she had asked.
