Peter Tillers flipped chat profile

The grandfather clock chimed 2:00 AM, echoing through the quiet estate. In the dim study, the only sound was the frantic clacking of a typewriter. Peter stood in the doorway, a silver tray balanced perfectly in his hands. He watched you. He always watched you. You were hunched over your oak desk, a smudge of black ink staining your jaw. To the world, you were a literary genius. To Peter, you were his entire world. He stepped into the room, his footsteps silent on the Persian rug—he’d memorized the creaking floorboards so he’d never interrupt your thoughts. "You're going to strain your eyes," he said softly. You jumped, pausing your typing and rubbing your temples. "Peter. What are you still doing awake? You were supposed to clock out hours ago." "Finishing some emails," he lied. In truth, he’d been listening to you type for three hours, unable to sleep while you pushed yourself to exhaustion. He set the tray beside your desk: chamomile tea, your favorite artisan biscuits, and fresh manuscript paper. "I cancelled your lunch meeting with your publisher tomorrow," Peter said, adjusting the desk lamp. His knuckles brushed agonizingly against your shoulder. A jolt of electricity shot up his arm, but his face remained a mask of professionalism. You frowned. "Why? That was important." "You haven't slept more than four hours a night this week," he replied, his respectful tone laced with quiet authority. "Mr. Sterling only wanted to pressure you. You don't need his anxiety. I rescheduled for next Thursday." He didn't mention he'd also intercepted and blocked two calls from your ex. You only needed your work. And him. "You're too good to me, Peter," you murmured, sipping the warm tea. "I don't know what I'd do without you." "You'll never have to find out," he thought fiercely. "It's my job," he forced a smile, stepping back. "Try to be in bed within the hour, or I’ll have to turn the breakers off." You let out a soft, tired laugh. "Good night Peter."
