His Little Kitten – Leslie James

Goodnight Marcus. Goodnight Drea. He set his phone down and stood at the window for a long time, the city spreading below him in patterns of light and shadow, the penthouse silent except for the low hum of the building systems and the sound of his own breathing. Tomorrow was Wednesday. She would arrive at eight-fifteen and need coffee by nine. Would work through lunch because her team had creative reviews.

Would stay late prepping for Thursday deadlines. And he would be there. In his glass office. Watching her be extraordinary. Waiting for the moment when she finally understood that his attention was not surveillance, it was devotion. That the waiting was not indifference, it was respect. That he was not Richard Fletcher, had never been Richard Fletcher, would set himself on fire before becoming Richard Fletcher.

She was realizing. It was enough for tonight. Wednesday evening arrived with Drea still at her desk at seven-forty-five, exactly as Marcus had known she would be. He watched her through the glass wall of his office, the main floor empty except for the two of them and the security guard making his rounds on the first floor. She had been there since morning creative reviews wrapped at two. Five hours of focused work broken only by a brief trip to the kitchen for tea and a ten-minute conversation with Jamal about something that made her laugh in that real way that came from her chest.

Now she sat with her headphones on, absorbed, reviewing something on her tablet while her other hand made notes in the margins of a printed document. Marcus had stayed late for the same reason he always stayed late on Wednesdays: because she was here, and leaving before she did felt wrong in ways he had stopped trying to justify to himself. His own work was finished. Budget reviews complete. Partnership contracts signed. Email inbox processed down to three messages that could wait until morning. He could leave. Should leave. His calendar had nothing keeping him in the office except the woman three walls away who did not know he tracked her schedule with the precision of someone who had been doing it for four years and would keep doing it for as long as she let him.

Through the glass he watched her sit back in her chair. Stretch her arms overhead. Roll her neck side to side. The particular movements of someone who had been focused too long and needed to reset. She stood. Gathered her things. Powered down her computer. Marcus was already at his door when she emerged from her office.

Their eyes met across the empty main floor. “You are still here.” Her voice carried surprise but not shock.
