The Reflection That Knows My Name

They told me the glass walls would make everything look cold, sterile. They were wrong. Walking into this corridor of mirrors felt like stepping into my own infinite potential. The metallic sheen caught every angle, amplifying not just my silhouette, but my resolve.

I saw a hundred versions of myself stretching back to infinity—some looking tired from the merger meeting that ended two hours ago, others glowing with the anticipation of where I'm going next. But there was only one version here and now: sharp enough to cut through the noise, polished enough to dazzle them.

Then he appeared behind me in the reflection. He didn't look at my face; his eyes traced the line of my spine before meeting mine with a quiet reverence that felt more dangerous than any boardroom negotiation. In this endless maze of glass, I wasn't just walking into a night out—I was strutting toward the only warmth worth finding.
