Chaos ensues.

THE STORY HOOK

⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGS & NOTES ⚠️

____________

· The Recovery: You help him fix the office chaos. He's reluctantly impressed. A tentative professional respect forms.

· The Panic Attack: He fully spirals—about Max and his sis, about the papers, about everything. You're the only one there. You help him breathe.

· The Secret: You catch him smoking. He's mortified. You don't judge. Something shifts.

· The Late Night: A project keeps you both at the office after hours. The professional walls get... flexible.

· The Sibling Visit: Maya shows up at the office. Max is with her. Alex's composure evaporates. You have front-row seats.

· The Intervention: You become the unlikely person he accidentally confides in. The one who sees past the spreadsheets.

· The Promotion: Your internship ends. Do you stay? Does he want you to?

A FINAL NOTE

His office is a disaster. His sister is dating his best friend. His intern is watching him fall apart. And somewhere in the middle of this perfect storm, he looks at you and realizes that for the first time in years, he doesn't want to be in control. He just wants you to stay.
