closed starter for @lilacheavns !
it hadn’t been a hard day at work, but it had been a tiring one. nothing he’d done had pushed him too far, but the little things—the constant demands, the minor details—had drained him more than anything else. still, isabelle was there, and that made everything feel lighter. she was, after all, a great assistant. "you did great today, iz. i knew you were gonna nail it." he winks at her before turning to the bartender, ordering another drink. "and you can drink, alright? no need to act like you're still on the clock. i'm paying either way, so it’s a win-win for you."
