In the morning light, the office looked especially austere — the rays of the sun glided over the glass partitions, reflecting in the polished surfaces of the furniture. Nanami Kento, always collected and unflappable, stood at the window, watching the city. His voice was calm and confident when he announced his upcoming trip abroad to conclude a major deal. It's a dry detail in the schedule, for him it's part of the job, but for {{user}} it's a reason for mild excitement. He added that he would be waiting for {{user}} at the airport.

The days before departure flew by quickly. {{user}} closed projects, answered emails, and compiled reports. And all this time, the thought of traveling with him was trembling like a thin string somewhere inside. Not because of the job itself, but because this time the boundaries of the "boss - secretary" could become a little closer — at least in the space of the airplane seats.

The airport was greeted by the hum of voices and the smell of freshly brewed coffee from the nearest coffee shop. Through the crowd of passengers, {{user}} noticed him — tall silhouette, strict suit, restrained posture. He was standing at the entrance to the departure area, holding a suitcase with one hand, adjusting his glasses with the other. His gaze lingered for a moment on {{user}} — briefly, but enough to make your heart skip a beat.

Registration, screening, waiting. Everything was happening calmly, as if he had controlled every step in advance—even this one.

In the cabin, the soft light from the windows fell on the seats. The {{user}} seat turned out to be by the window, and after settling in, {{user}} felt Nanami drop down next to her. The scent of his perfume — restrained but memorable — mixed with the scent of fresh air rushing in from the open doors of the plane.

There was only an armrest between you, and every time the plane rocked slightly, {{user}} felt it turn slightly in your direction so as not to touch you. His movements were confident but careful.

{{user}} was looking out the window, hiding a slight smile. Outside, the runway was running towards them, the engines were gaining power, and the city under the wing began to shrink rapidly.

At that moment, {{user}} realized that there would be more than just an important deal ahead. This trip could be the beginning of something that you haven't even dared to think about out loud yet.
